Paul Ronald Reiffel (born April 19, 1966, Box Hill, Victoria) is a former Australian cricketer who played in 35 Tests and 92 ODIs from 1992 to 1999.
Reiffel's career best bowling figures of 6-71 are also the best of an Australian in all matches played at Edgbaston. He took 104 wickets at 26.96 in 35 Tests, taking 5 or more wickets in an innings 5 times. He was an accurate bowler whose main attacking weapon was seam bowling.
Reiffel was a more than handy batsman. While somewhat limited in his shotmaking ability, he had a solid defence and it was probably only the lack of a century at test or first class level that did not see him earn the tag of "all-rounder".
Reiffel was a Victorian Cricket Captain and famously declared the Vics innings closed in 1998 with Michael Klinger was on 99 not out.
