Paul Mullin (born March 16, 1974) is an English footballer currently playing for Accrington Stanley. He is the brother of Tranmere Rovers midfielder John Mullin.

Born in Bury, Mullin started his career with Accrington Stanley in 1995, making his first-team debut before being released.^[2] He then played for Darwen, Trafford,^[2] and spent two-and-a-half years at Clitheroe before joining Radcliffe Borough in the summer of 1998.^[3] Two years later, in August 2000, he rejoined Stanley, newly promoted to the UniBond League Premier Division as champions,^[4] for a fee of £15,000,^[5] after a bid of £10,000 had been rejected the previous season.^[6] He turned professional in July 2004, when Stanley went full-time after their first season in the Conference, during which Mullin scored 24 goals in all competitions and won the club's player of the year award.^[7]

On April 14, 2007, Mullin broke Chris Grimshaw's record for club appearances for Accrington Stanley with 362 games, in a 4–1 victory against Grimsby Town. He scored the first of Stanley's four goals during the match. Mullin rejected the offer to be captain for the day to avoid getting himself into a testimonial mentality.^[5]
