Paul Eyschen (9 September 1841 - 11 October 1915) was a Luxembourgian politician, statesman, jurist, and diplomat. He was the eighth Prime Minister of Luxembourg, serving for twenty-seven years, from 22 September 1888 until his death, on 11 October 1915.

The son of Charles-Gérard Eyschen, a former Director-General for Justice, Eyschen was born in Diekirch, in northern Luxembourg, on 9 September 1841. Eyschen became a lawyer after studying Law in Bonn and Paris. In 1866, Eyschen entered the Luxembourgian Chamber of Deputies. In 1875, he was appointed Chargé d'Affaires to the German Empire, in which capacity he served until 1888.

In 1876, Eyschen emulated his father by becoming Director-General for Justice, a position he held until 1888, when, upon the resignation of Édouard Thilges, Eyschen was appointed Prime Minister. For the following 27 years, Eyschen dominated Luxembourgian political life, holding sway over a succession of monarchs and overseeing an era of economic resurgence.

Eyschen died, whilst still in office, on 11 October 1915, one year into the German occupation during the First World War. He was succeeded by his long-term Director-General for Finances and ally, Mathias Mongenast.
