Paul Charles Gaudoin (born 12 August 1975) is an Australian former field hockey defender and midfielder. He was a member of the Australia men's national field hockey team that won bronze at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta and the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.[1] He was captain of the team that won gold at the 2002 Commonwealth Games.[2][3]

He quit in March 2021, just four months out from the Tokyo Olympics, ahead of the release of findings and recommendations of an independent review into the team's cultural problems.[4]
