Wolfgang Paul (; 25 January 1940 – 28 June 2026) was a German footballer who played as a libero.
Captaining Borussia Dortmund to the European Cup Winners Cup in 1966, Paul was included in Helmut Schön's West Germany squad for the 1966 FIFA World Cup. He never played a match for West Germany and had to retire early because of the effects an injury picked up in the late 1960s had to his game.
On 28 June 2026, Paul died from a "longstanding illness", at the age of 86.
