Paul Mario Day (born April 19, 1956) was the original lead vocalist of Iron Maiden from 1975 to 1976. He later formed a band called More that played at the Donington Monsters of Rock Festival in 1981. He was lead singer of Wildfire in 1983 to 1984. He recorded a live album at the Marquee Club in London as lead singer of The Sweet in 1986.

On Iron Maiden's Early Days DVD it was mentioned that Day was sacked because he didn't have enough stage-charisma. He was replaced by Dennis Wilcock, who compensated for his lack of vocal prowess with on-stage theatrics in the style of KISS.

Paul Day now lives in Australia (since 1986), he sings with a band in Newcastle, Australia called "Gringos",
