Patika Kusulaka (Kharosthi: 𐨤𐨟𐨁𐨐𐨆 𐨐𐨂𐨯𐨂𐨫𐨂𐨐𐨆 Pa-ti-ko Ku-su-lu-ko, Patiko Kusuluko[1]) was an Indo-Scythian satrap in the northwestern South Asia during the 1st century BCE.
Patika Kusulaka's name appears on the Taxila copper plate as Patiko Kusuluko (𐨤𐨟𐨁𐨐𐨆 𐨐𐨂𐨯𐨂𐨫𐨂𐨐𐨆).[1] This name is composed of: Patiko (𐨤𐨟𐨁𐨐𐨆), which is from the Saka name *Padika, meaning "leader";[2] and of Kusuluko (𐨐𐨂𐨯𐨂𐨫𐨂𐨐𐨆), from Saka *Kuzulaka, meaning "striving, ambitious, energetic".[2]
He is mentioned in the Mathura lion capital. He is also mentioned in the Taxila copper plate inscription (Konow 1929: 23-29), dated between 90 and 6 BCE. In the scroll Patika is said to be the son of the Satrap of Chukhsa, Liaka Kusuluka.
Zeionises (Jihonika) may have succeeded Patika around 20–40 CE.
