Narendra M. Patel was Ugandan politician of Indian origin[2] and former speaker of the legislature.[3]

Patel was 85 years old in 2012,[4] so he was born sometime between 1926 and 1928. He was born in Pij, Kheda district, Gujarat province, in India.[2] He has a law degree from University of Bombay.[2] He worked in private practice in Uganda.

Patel was elected to the Parliament of Uganda in 1962 from Mbale constituency, under the banner of Uganda People's Congress.[2] He was the speaker of the Parliament of the First Republic in 1963.[3] Patel was described to not have wielded much power with respect to Obote's government.[3] He was the speaker until president Milton Obote abrogated the constitution in 1971.[3]

Patel then returned to private practice. He left Uganda in 1973, when Idi Amin ordered all Ugandans of Asian origin to leave the country.[2] Patel first left for India, and then settled to Australia. He died in Baroda, India, in December 2012.[1]
