Patrick Robert Norman Appleford (4 May 1925 – 9 December 2018) was an English Anglican priest and hymnwriter. Along with Geoffrey Beaumont and others he was a founder of the "Twentieth Century Church Light Music Group" around 1960, which significantly affected the development of hymn-writing and hymn-singing across English-speaking churches from that time onwards.
