Patrick Balati Kimumwe[1] (c. 1946 – December 1978) was a Ugandan soldier, rebel, and author. He is best known for organizing a coup d'état attempt against Ugandan President Idi Amin, and subsequently escaping from the prison of Amin's notorious intelligence agency, the State Research Bureau (SRB). After his escape, Kimumwe joined the militant Ugandan opposition in Kenya where he co-authored a book on his experiences in the Uganda Army. He served as insurgent and died during the Uganda–Tanzania War.
