Paul Lee Harris (born 2 December 1978, Harare, Zimbabwe) is a South African cricketer who has played for the cricket teams of Titans, Western Province and Warwickshire CCC. He is a Left-arm orthodox spin bowler.

During the 2006 cricket season, he joined Warwickshire under the Kolpak ruling after New Zealand spinner Daniel Vettori got injured. He instantly made his debut for the Bears in a Twenty20 Cup match against Worcestershire. He formed a spin partnership with off-spinner Alex Loudon [citation needed].

Following the retirement of fellow spinner Nicky Boje, he was given his first call-up for South Africa. He played his first test match against India and took 4 wickets in the first innings at cape town including the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar. Playing in this Test Match meant that he surrendered his Kolpak registration with Warwickshire.
