Writing letters of no confidence in him was a "sideshow", she said.
Twelve Tory MPs have called on Boris Johnson to quit since Sue Gray's Partygate report last week, taking the the declared total to 28. A vote on his leadership would require 54 letters.
But Ms Patel told the Daily Mail: "We need to concentrate on doing our jobs."
She added: "This isn't about a parade [of leadership candidates] or a contest of letters.
"Look at what is going on in the world right now, look at the challenges that we face domestically. We can't ignore those.
"Our job is to deliver on the people's priorities. They won't thank the Conservative party for talking about itself at a time when people have anxieties, concerns, apprehensions."
'Focus on Jubilee'
Ms Patel also said leadership talk should not overshadow the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, adding that "all the focus" should be on the Queen and her "long-standing dedicated service".
On Wednesday, Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries told the BBC efforts to topple the prime minister were being co-ordinated by "one or two individuals" for reasons of "personal ambition".
She accused Tory MPs trying to oust him of doing "the opposition's work", and said the "overwhelming" majority still backed him.
