Paul Bracewell (born 19th July 1962) is a former England international footballer, an excellent midfielder, although his talent was hampered by injuries as the years went by. He is probably best known as an Everton player, although he made most appearances for Sunderland A.F.C. His other clubs, as a player were Stoke City, Newcastle United and Fulham F.C., whom he also managed briefly, where despite making a good start to the season, he was sacked by the chairman half way through his first season. He won two First Division Championship medals with Everton in 1985 and 1987, as well as the 1985 European Cup Winners Cup final, when Everton beat Rapid Vienna 3:1.

He has the unwanted distinction of never winning the F.A. Cup, but being with the losing finalists on four occasions, in 1985, 1986 and 1989 with Everton and in 1992 with Sunderland.

He was later manager of Halifax Town.
