Paulo Henrique Bordignon Miyao (born May 11, 1991) is a Brazilian BJJ black belt with a notable competitive record. He and his brother João Miyao have a competitive rivalry with Keenan Cornelius: after several defeats to Cornelius in 2012, Paulo would go on to defeat Keenan at the 2013 World Jiu-Jitsu Championship in the brown belt absolute division, a remarkable feat for his given weight-class. Paulo trains under Cicero Costha alongside his brother João and the pair previously trained alongside world champion Leandro Lo.

Miyao returned to competition against Lucas Pinheiro in the main event of Fight 2 Win 173 on June 11, 2021, winning a unanimous decision.

He then fought in the main event of Polaris 18 on November 17, 2021, against Ashley Williams, losing a split decision.
