Old Kilpatrick (Scots:Auld Kilpaitrick, Scottish Gaelic:Cille Phàdraig meaning "Patrick's church"), is a village in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland.
The village is on the north bank of the River Clyde immediately to the north of the Forth and Clyde Canal, 3 miles (5 km) from Clydebank on the road to Dumbarton. The Great Western Road runs through Old Kilpatrick, and the next village to its west is Bowling. The modern A82 trunk road runs to the north of Old Kilpatrick, between the village and the foot of the Kilpatrick Hills. There is a legend that it was the birthplace of Saint Patrick.
