Paul Lufkin (1942 – January 10, 2019) is an American retired ice hockey player and coach. He was the head coach of Yale for a short time before Tim Taylor took over.

Lufkin played for Boston College in the early 1960s, playing under John Kelley and making the 1963 NCAA Tournament. His brief stint with Yale began with a rare winning season for the Bulldogs but declined sharply into a 1-win season in his third year there and he was gone soon thereafter.
