Henri Paul (3 July 1956–31 August 1997) was the Deputy Head of Security at the Hôtel Ritz Paris. He was the driver at the time of the car accident at the Pont de l'Alma tunnel, Paris that killed him along with Diana, Princess of Wales and her companion Dodi Fayed. Bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones was the only survivor.

Subsequent official investigations conducted by French and British police concluded that the cause of the crash was Henri Paul who was intoxicated with alcohol and driving recklessly at high speed.

Henri Paul had worked for the Fayed family for 11 years. He received his private pilot's licence in June 1974 and was said to enjoy hiring aircraft to fly over to Lorient. On 28 August 1997, three days before the car accident he successfully passed his annual pilot's physical examination. The examination includes a certification which tests for any alcohol problems (including a blood and liver test). Henri Paul's parents claim that this test would have shown if Henri Paul had problems with alcoholism. The original document Certificat D'Aptitude Physique et Mentale was shown on Diana - Geheimnisse der Todesnacht German-Television ZDF in 1998.
