'n Beskermheilige, in Nederlands en Vlaams ook patroon of patrones genoem, is in die Rooms-Katolieke Kerk 'n heilige of 'n engel wat beskou en vereer word as beskermer van 'n stad, land, kerk, gilde, beroepsgroep of individu.
Die beskermheilige kan in geval van siekte of ander nood aangeroep word. Dit kan ook die heilige wees wie se naam 'n mens (veral vir katolieke) by doop ontvang.
