Adolf Paul (6 January 1863, Bromma, Sweden – 30 September 1943, Berlin, Germany) was a writer in the German, Swedish, and Finnish languages. He, along with figures such as August Strindberg, Edvard Munch, and Stanisław Przybyszewski was one of the circle of artists who gathered at the tavern Zum schwarzen Ferkel (the 'Black Piglet') in Berlin.

As a student at the Helsinki Music Institute, Adolf Paul became a close friend of Jean Sibelius, the Finnish composer. Sibelius later wrote the incidental music to Paul's play, King Christian II, a piece about the Scandinavian king (1898); and a wedding march for another of Paul's plays, the comedy The Language of Birds (1911).
