Edward "Pat" Purdue (1878 – 16 July 1939) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A lock, Purdue represented Southland at a provincial level. He played just one match for the New Zealand national side, a test against the touring Australian team in 1905. Also appearing in that match was Purdue's brother, Charles, the pair becoming the first brothers to play in the same test for New Zealand.[1]
Purdue died in Invercargill on 16 July 1939,[1] and was buried at the city's Eastern Cemetery.[2]
