Patricia "Patty" Boydstun (-Hovdey) (born December 22, 1951) is a former World Cup alpine ski racer from the United States.

Born in Council, Idaho, she competed on the World Cup circuit in the early 1970s, and finished eighth in the slalom at the 1972 Winter Olympics. She had ten top ten finishes in World Cup slaloms; the first came at age 16 in April 1968 at Heavenly Valley, California.

Raised in McCall, Boydstun learned to ski and race at the Little Ski Hill[1] and Brundage Mountain, where her father Johnny was its first employee and mountain manager for 27 years.[2]

She married Dean Hovdey in the 1970s and they founded a sporting goods store in McCall which they continue to own and operate.[3]
