Paul Wolfe (born April 24, 1977, in Milford, New York) is a NASCAR crew chief and former driver. From 2003-05, Wolfe raced in numerous Busch Series events.
In 2005, Wolfe was slated to drive the #6 Dodge Charger for Evernham Motorsports. In the first four events, Wolfe failed to finish in the top twenty-five once and did not qualify for two races.

He remained under contract with the team and returned to race the car in three more events later in the year, finishing in the top-ten at Nashville Superspeedway in his final race with the team. Afterwards, he signed with FitzBradshaw Racing; he raced both the #40 and #12 Dodges in a combined five races, with his best finish being 23rd. He now works with FitzBradshaw as crew chief on the #12 and #22 Dodge Chargers driven in the The NASCAR Grand National Division, Busch East Series by 2006 ROTY Ruben Pardo and John Freeman.

In 2009, Wolfe worked as crew chief for CJM Racing while Mike Bliss was driving CJM's #11 car
In 2010, Wolfe is working with Penske Racing as crew chief of Brad Keselowski's #22 Discount Tire Dodge. Paul Wolfe and Brad Keselowski won the Nationwide series championship in 2010, giving Roger Penske his first NASCAR title of any kind.
