Jaime "Jimmy" Ortiz-Patiño (20 June 1930 – 3 January 2013) was a French-born Spanish industrialist who became a major figure in European golf and bridge. In 1984 Patiño acquired what became the Valderrama Golf Club, a ten-year-old course in southern Spain designed by Robert Trent Jones, who contributed to its re-design and expansion. Patiño subsequently arranged for Valderrama to host the 32nd Ryder Cup in 1997, its first staging in continental Europe.
