Paul William Dodge (born 26 May 1958 in Leicester) is a former English rugby union international footballer who gained 32 caps for his country between 1978 and 1985.
He played for Leicester Tigers as a 17-year old, and made his England debut 2 years later. With Clive Woodward he formed a centre partnership that played for Tigers, England and the British Lions tour to South Africa in 1980. In the mid-late '80's he captained both Leicester and England. After retiring he became Leicester backs coach before becoming an academy coach.
His elder son Alex Dodge plays at outside centre and was promoted to the Leicester first team squad for the 2005/6 season. His younger son Ollie Dodge is also a promising player for Leicester's academy.
