Paul Dawson (born September 16, 1985) is a lacrosse player who plays defense for the Rochester Knighthawks. His older brother, Dan, also plays with the Knighthawks.

Dawson was drafted as a goaltender in the first round (7th overall) in the 2006 National Lacrosse League entry draft. As a goaltender, Dawson played with the Brampton Excelsiors in the Senior A Major Series Lacrosse League. The San Jose Stealth converted him from a goaltender to a defenseman starting with the 2008 NLL season.[1] He was then traded to the Boston Blazers,[1] where he played two seasons with his brother Dan.

In 2010, Dawson was traded to the Calgary Roughnecks, who subsequently traded him to the Philadelphia Wings,.[2][3] A year later, Dawson was reunited with his brother when Dan Dawson was acquired in the Boston Blazers dispersal draft.[4] Both Dawsons played one season in Philadelphia before being traded together to the Rochester Knighthawks for a package of four players including Paul Rabil.[5]
