Paul Wright (born August 17, 1967 in East Kilbride) is a retired Scottish football player. He played for seven clubs in a fourteen-year career, beginning with Aberdeen in 1988. It was in the mid-to-late '90s, however, that he was at the peak of his career, firstly with St. Johnstone and then Kilmarnock. It was between these two clubs that he commanded total transfer fees of £615,000 (from Hibernian to St. Johnstone for £275,000; from St. Johnstone to Kilmarnock for £340,000).
Wright brought his professional playing career to a close in 2002 with Morton and moved into junior football with Larkhall Thistle.
