Paul Pietsch (born 20 June 1911 in Freiburg, died 31 May 2012 in Titisee-Neustadt) was a German racing driver who competed in Formula 1 from 1950 to 1951. A capable pre-War driver, he briefly competed for Alfa Romeo in 1950 and 1951, finishing fourth in the 1951 Monaco Grand Prix, only to be released due to financial issues restricting the team to three cars. He finished the season with JAMR, but failed to finish a race.

He was the oldest surviving Formula 1 driver and the second driver to reach 100 years of age after Louis Gérard. After his death, Robert Manzon inherited the title.
