Patricia Radelet-de Grave , née de Grave, (born November 11, 1948 in Uccle ) is a Belgian historian of science.

Radelet-de Grave studied theoretical physics at the Catholic University of Leuven with a licentiate in 1971 (and one in the history of science in 1972) and received his doctorate in 1981 under David Speiser with a dissertation on the history of magnetic field lines from the Middle Ages to the 18th century. She was an assistant at the Catholic University and gave courses in the history of science from the 1980s. From 1989 she was visiting professor and from 1991 to 1999 Chargé de cours and then part-time professor and from 2006 associate professor.

She was visiting professor in Genoa, at the EHESS in Paris and in Pisa.

With Edoardo Benvenuto from Genoa she founded the conference series Entre mécanique et architecture on the history of civil engineering. a. Santiago Huerta , Antonio Becchi, Massimo Corradi, Federico Foce, Karl-Eugen Kurrer , Orietta Pedemonte and Anna Sinopoli were involved. The first conference took place in 1993 in Saragossa as part of the XIX International Congress of History of Science: The results of the first conference of Entre mécanique et architecture were published in 1995.
