Soul Patts, formerly Washington H Soul Pattinson, is a publicly listed Australian investment company.

In 1872, Caleb Soul and his son Washington Handley opened a pharmacy store in Pitt Street, Sydney. In 1886, Lewy Pattinson opened a pharmacy in Balmain. In April 1902, Pattinson bought Soul out with the business incorporated as Washington H Soul Pattinson & Company Limited. On 21 January 1903, the company was listed on the Sydney Stock Exchange.^[1] With origins in pharmacy operations (of the same name), today Soul Patts owns a diverse portfolio of investments in various asset classes (equities, private companies, private credit, and property). Soul Patts has never missed paying a dividend since 1903, increasing dividends every year since 2000. In June 2021, terms were agreed to purchase Milton Corporation.^[2]
