Paul Snowden Lewis (born 1 November 1966 in Adelaide, Australia) is a former field hockey midfield player from Australia, who was a member of the Men's National Hockey Team. He twice won a medal at the Summer Olympics.[1]

In his youth, Paul played for Forestville Hockey Club in South Australia, and attended Unley High School. Upon retiring from international hockey he would later earn a Bachelor of Laws, and is now a prominent lawyer in Perth, Australia.
