Pat Lawlor is a foremost designer of arcade {{Pinball}} machines. Though he got started in the industry working on video games, he is most famous for his attention-grabbing pinball designs.

Unlike other pinball designers, Lawlor's games typically introduce gameplay-altering features that were related to the game's theme, such as the spinning discs in ''Whirlwind'' that tossed balls off-course. His pins also have a mix of "vertical" shots (from the bottom of the playfield to the top) and "horizontal" ones (side-to-side, typically with the aid of additional flippers).
