Paul Newton (born 21 February 1948) is an English rock musician. He was bassist with progressive group Shinn, which featured organist Don Shinn and drummer Brian "Blinky" Davison, and then joined a reformed line-up of The Gods with Ken Hensley and Lee Kerslake. He was the original bass guitarist for Uriah Heep and played on the band's first three albums. He subsequently played for a band called Festival for several years on the Mecca Palais circuit and also worked as a studio musician and appeared on various recordings.
More recently he has performed with other ex-members of Uriah Heep (Ken Hensley, John Lawton and Lee Kerslake) in 'Uriah Heep Legend's. He has appeared with 'Behind Closed Doors', a band formed by his son, Julian and works occasionally with Malvern band 'The Ferrets'. He, along with John Lawton guested with 'Uriah Heep' on three songs at the 'Masters of Rock Festival' in the Czech Republic on 11 July 2019, making this the first time he has played with the band since 1971. In March 2023 he published his first book 'BoneStructure, A Journey From Boy To Band' a fictional story based on his life through the eyes of an alter-ego.
