Paul Hirsch (born November 14, 1945) is an American motion picture editor.

In 1978, he won the Academy Award for Best Film Editing for his work on Star Wars, along with Richard Chew and Marcia Lucas. He also won two Saturn Awards for Best Editing for Star Wars in 1977 and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol in 2011.

Hirsch rarely watches movies other than his own more than once. However, he cites that the musical An American in Paris and the science fiction film 2001: Space Odyssey are worthy of repeat viewing (Slate, 2006, http://www.slate.com/id/2144555/). Coincidently, he has been nominated for an academy award for editing a musical (Ray) and won one for a science fiction film (Star Wars).
