San Patricio is a very small community in Lincoln County, in the state of New Mexico. It is located on the Rio Ruidoso and Highway 70, between the communities of Hondo and Glencoe. It is just east of the Lincoln National Forest. Originally named Ruidoso for the river, in about 1870, the town was renamed when a Catholic church was built around 1875, and named La Iglesia de San Patricio. The village was also part of the Lincoln County War.
