Patrimonio (Italian pronunciation: [patriˈmɔːnjo]; French: [patʁimɔnjo]; Corsican: Patrimoniu, [patriˈmɔnju]) is a commune in the French department of Upper Corsica, collectivity and island of Corsica.

The inhabitants are known as patrimoniens and patrimoniennes in French, patrimuninchi (singular: patrimunincu, patrimuninca) in Corsican, and patrimoniesi (singular: patrimoniese) in Italian.

Located 12 km from Bastia and 4 km from the micro-region of Saint-Florent, this wine-growing commune is the gateway to the Cap Corse (peninsula at the northernmost point of Corsica).

The village of Patrimonio is known for the quality of its AOC (quality-controlled designation of origin) wines and for its guitar nights. The festival lasts for a week.
