Paul Trollope (born June 3, 1972) is an English football player and coach.

He is the son of former Swindon defender John Trollope and began his career at Swindon as a trainee, turning professional in December 1989, but failed to make the first team. He joined Torquay United on loan in March 1992 and signed on a free transfer for the Plainmoor side that summer. after 106 league games and 16 goals for Torquay, he moved to Derby County in December 1994 for a fee of £100,000. He had loan spells with Grimsby Town in August 1996 and Crystal Palace in October 1996 and made his full international debut for Wales on the 27th of May 1997 in a 1-0 victory at Kilmarnock. He went on to earn five full caps, with additional games against Brazil, Jamaica, Malta and Tunisia.

He moved to Fulham in November 1997 for a fee of £600,000 but left the Cottagers five years later. The move saw him join Coventry City on a free transfer in March 2002 after losing his place at Craven Cottage. He stayed only a few months at Highfield Road, moving to Northampton Town in July 2002 after being released at the end of the season.

In June 2004 he moved to Bristol Rovers on a free transfer. In his second season he became caretaker manager, helped by Rovers Senior player John Anderson and was appointed Full First Team Coach in a two-tier managerial structure, alongside Director of Football Lennie Lawrence on 7 November 2005. His first season in charge ended in a respecable midtable position of 12th place in the Coca-Cola League Two.
