Paul Niculescu-Mizil (Romanian pronunciation: ['pa.ul niku'lesku mi'zil]; 25 November 1923 – 5 December 2008) was a Romanian communist politician.
Joining the Romanian Communist Party due to his background and intellectual aspirations, he was prominent in the agitprop department during Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej's rule.
Under Nicolae Ceausescu, he went from handling foreign affairs in the late 1960s to holding ministerial posts in the 1970s to a marginal position in the 1980s.
After the regime's collapse, he spent time in prison before emerging as a vocal defender of the system he had served.
