Sir William Thomas Paulin (1 May 1848-26 February 1931) was a brewer and local politician.

His parents came form Berwickshire in the Scottish Borders. His father, Thomas, was the proprietor of the Albion Brewery, Whitechapel, and this was given as his address in the baptismal records of the Albion Chapel Presbyterian Chapel.

In 1877 he married Fanny Mann, of Thelveton Hall in Norfolk. He became a director of Mann, Crossman and Paulin, brewers. Following his father-in-law's death in 1886 he kept close links with Norfolk, and was Vice President of the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association at the time of his death.

He moved to Winchmore Hill, Southgate, Middlesex. From 1892-1901 he represented Southgate North on Middlesex County Council.

He was on the Board of Governors of the London Hospital for over fifty years, and was treasurer from 1913. He was knighted for his services to the hospital in 1929.
