Paul Schnabel (1948- ) is a Dutch sociologist and as of 2006 the director of an agency of the Dutch government called Sociaal en Cultureel Planbureau (Social and Cultural Planning Office), usually abbreviated as SCP (or SCPB).
Schnabel grew up in the Catholic city of Breda. He studied sociology in Utrecht. He received his Ph.D. in 1982 for his dissertation on new religious movements (popularly and in the media often called sects or cults) and mental health.
Apart from his work for the SCP he has many other functions in several institutions in Dutch society. In 2006 he was listed in De Volkskrant in the top ten of the most influential persons in the Netherlands.
