John Paye is a former NFL quarterback and high school basketball coach.

A graduate of Menlo School in Atherton, California, Paye lettered in baseball, basketball, and football. In his senior year of 1983, Menlo won the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division II basketball championship. One of Paye's teammates was Eric Reveno, who played with Paye on Stanford's basketball team and is currently the basketball head coach at the University of Portland.

Paye continued as a starter in all three sports at Stanford, and became the starting quarterback in his freshman year of 1983. That year, Paye also started at point guard for Stanford's basketball team. Paye was the last NCAA Division I athlete to start in both football and basketball as a freshman.Fact|date=February 2007

In the 1984 season, he shared time at quarterback with Fred Buckley, and became the starter for the 1985 and 1986 season. In 1986, Paye led Stanford to the Gator Bowl against the Clemson Tigers. This was Stanford's first bowl appearance in 8 years, but Paye was unable to play due to a shoulder injury. Backup Greg Ennis started instead, and Stanford lost a close game 27-21.

Paye was selected in the 10th round of the 1987 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers and stayed one season with the 49ers. After leaving football, Paye returned to Menlo as the girls' basketball coach, coaching his sister Kate. Paye guided the team to three CIF Division V state championships from 1989-1991.cite news| last =Reeves| first =Glenn| title =Paye new Notre Dame hoops coach| work=Oakland Tribune| date =March 10, 2006| url =http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4176/is_20060310/ai_n16141049| accessdate =2007-02-06 ] Paye coached boys' basketball at Woodside Priory School in the 1995-1996 season and is currently the head coach of the Notre Dame High School girls' basketball team in Belmont, California.cite news| last =Reid| first =John| title =Paye happy in his new place| work =Palo Alto Daily News| date =December 7, 2006| url =http://www.paloaltodailynews.com/article/2006-12-7-prep-lookout| accessdate =2007-02-06 ]
