Patate is a town in Ecuador in the Tungurahua Province in northwestern South America between San Juan de Ambato and Baños. It is located close to the foothills of the still active Tungurahua volcano.

Patate was declared a Pueblo Mágico (magical town) by Ecuador's Ministry of Tourism (MINTUR) in 2019. It was the first town in the country to be awarded this distinction.[2]
