Paul Jeffrey (born April 8, 1933) is an American jazz tenor saxophonist and arranger born in New York City, perhaps best-known for playing with the Thelonious Monk quartet from 1970-1972. Jeffrey also conducted and arranged some of the last albums recorded by Charles Mingus.

From the late 1950s to 1960 Jeffrey worked with several R&B singers, including B.B. King, Wynonie Harris and Big Maybelle. In 1958 he worked with Illinois Jacquet, and through the 1960s worked with a variety of artists such as Dizzy Gillespie, Howard McGhee, Count Basie and Sadik Hakim, to name a few. He has also taught Jazz Studies at Rutgers University and later at Duke University, and he currently resides in North Carolina.
