Paul Methuen (16 May 1723 – 22 January 1795) was an English politician.
He was the son of Thomas Methuen of Bradford-on-Avon and was the cousin and heir of politician-diplomat Sir Paul Methuen (1672–1757). He went to Oriel College, Oxford.
He was Member of Parliament (MP) for Westbury 1747–1748, for Warwick 1762–1768, and Great Bedwyn 1774–1781.
