Paul "Paulie" Michael Teutul (born October 2, 1974) is one of the stars of the American reality television program "American Chopper". He co-founded Orange County Choppers along with his father, Paul Teutul, Sr. in 1999. Although Paul sometimes goes by the nickname of "Junior", he is in fact not technically a "junior," because he does not share the same middle name as his father. Paulie's middle name is Michael, while his father, also Paul Teutul, bears the middle name of John. During an interview with David Letterman, Paul (the father) stated that he is technically a true junior, while his son is simply "Paul." Paulie is the chief designer and fabricator of OCC, and prior to that was head of the rail shop at Orange County Ironworks. He is also responsible for designing the logo for OCC.

Paulie, along with his father and youngest brother Michael Teutul, became celebrities when Orange County Choppers became the focus of a reality television series "American Chopper" on the The Discovery Channel in 2002 (in 2007 the show was moved to TLC). He has another brother, Daniel who is the general manager and the owner of Orange County Ironworks. He also has a sister, Cristin, who is the youngest of all the Teutul children. She is currently a nurse in Rochester, New York.
