Pasquale "Pat" Bisceglia (June 23, 1930 - February 7, 2009) was an American football player. He was a first-team All-American guard at Notre Dame in 1955.
Bisceglia grew up in Worcester, Massachusetts, before enrolling at the University of Notre Dame.[1] He played college football at the guard and linebacker positions for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team from 1953 to 1955 under head coaches Frank Leahy and Terry Brennan.
