Paul Hawkins (born October 12 1937 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia – died May 26 1969 at Oulton Park, Cheshire, England) was the son of a racing motorcyclist-turned-church minister. This tough Australian was a capable single seater driver but really made his mark as an outstanding sports car competitor driving Ford GT40s and Lola T70s.
He participated in 3 Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on January 1, 1965 at the South African Grand Prix in a pushrod Ford 1500cc-engined Brabham Formula 2 car. He scored 0 championship points.
He is one of only two Formula One drivers, along with Italian Alberto Ascari, to have crashed into the harbour in Monaco during a Grand Prix. He did so during the 1965 race, when he spun at the chicane after 79 of the 100 laps. He escaped from the crash unhurt.
He was killed when his Lola T70GT crashed and burned at Island Bend during the 1969 Tourist Trophy race at Oulton Park.
