Paul Fonoroff (born 1954 in Cleveland, Ohio) is one of Hong Kong's best known film critics and film historians.[1]

Fonoroff studied Chinese language at Brown University and earned his masters in fine arts at the University of Southern California.[2] He also earned a PhD at Beijing University in Chinese cinema.[3]

Fonoroff has lived in Hong Kong since 1983. He has written for the South China Morning Post since 1988 and is well respected in the Hong Kong cinema community.[3]

He has published two books, Paul Fonoroff At The Hong Kong Movies, a collection of reviews, and Silver Light, a picture book of Fonoroff's extensive collection of Hong Kong movie memorabilia.[2] At the Movies was criticized for being out of date by reviewers.[1]
