Paul Lodewijkx (9 January 1947 – 10 August 1988) was a Grand Prix motorcycle road racer from the Netherlands. He had his best year in 1968 when he won the Dutch TT, and finished the season in second place behind Hans-Georg Anscheidt.^[1] He was the first Dutchman to win his home Grand Prix.

In 1969 he had a traffic accident on his motorbike. After a long recovery, he was left with occasional epileptic seizures which eventually caused his death by drowning in 1988.
