Raghuvir Mothibhai Patel (born 1944) is a former Kenyan cricketer who played internationally for East Africa, including at the 1982 ICC Trophy. He played as a wicket-keeper.

A regular player for Kenya in regional tournaments, Patel first played for East Africa in 1972, when he toured England with the team.[1] He played his one and only first-class match in January 1974, against a Marylebone Cricket Club team that was returning the tour.[2] In the match, Patel had little success with the bat, but did have future England captain Mike Brearley out caught behind from the bowling of Vasant Tapu.[3] After that, he did not again play internationally until the 1982 ICC Trophy in England, where he shared the wicket-keeping duties with Narendra Thakker. He was one of the few East African players at the tournament with first-class experience.[4]
