Paul Dee "Daffy" Dean (August 14, 1912 – March 17, 1981) was an American right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball. Born in Lucas, Arkansas, he played for the St. Louis Cardinals (1934–1939), New York Giants (1940–1941), and St. Louis Browns (1943).

Paul Dean played for several years alongside his more famous brother, Jay "Dizzy" Dean who was also a pitcher. Because of his brother's nickname, Paul also had a nickname, "Daffy", but this did not reflect his personality; he was considered quiet and serious. Together, Dizzy and Paul pitched for the Cardinals in the 1934 World Series, which they won in seven games.

Paul Dean holds a distinction for pitching a no-hitter on September 21, 1934, at the age of 22.. His career ended several years later due to an injury. He died at age 67 in Springdale, Arkansas.
