Paul Knight (born 30 April 1959) is a Welsh former rugby union international.

Knight, born in Trealaw, was a tighthead prop who played for Aberavon, Pontypridd and Treorchy. In 1982, he was in the West of Wales team that faced Australia at Stradey Park.[1] He gained five Wales caps during his career, starting with two Test appearances on Wales' 1990 Namibia tour, then was capped in a match against the Barbarians later that year. In the 1991 Five Nations, he played in the first two matches, before losing his place to Neath prop John Davies.[2]

While with Treorchy in 1995, Knight was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, forcing him to retire from the sport. He uses a wheelchair and lives in an adapted home with wife Jennifer.[3] His story was documented in a biography titled The Paul Knight Story in 2023.[4]
