Paul Couch (born July 19, 1964) is a retired Australian Rules Football player.

He is the most recent Brownlow Medallist for the Geelong Football Club, playing 259 games and kicking 203 goals from 1985 to 1997 and winning the coveted Brownlow in 1989.

Paul was recruited from Warrnambool and, though never blessed with pace and very "one-sided" on his trusty left boot, had the ability to make position and place his team to advantage throughout 12 (often knee-injury ridden) years.

As a traditional "centreman", he was the pivot for the outstanding teams of 1989-1995 and though the Club failed to win a premiership during that time, it was little fault of Paul's.

Paul represented Victoria 5 times, was named All-Australian 3 times (1989, 1991, 1992) and won 3 Club Best and Fairest awards, as well as being named in the Club's Team of the Century.
