Paul Levy (born 26 February 1941 in Lexington, Kentucky) is a US/British author and journalist. He lives with his wife, art historian, Penelope Marcus, in Oxfordshire UK.

He and Ann Barr, in an article in Harpers & Queen in 1982, were the first in Britain to use the word "foodie" (some have said that he exemplified the concept). Whether they coined the word is not clear because Gael Greene used it at almost the same moment in New York Magazine.^[1] He has won many British and American food writing and journalism prizes, including two commendations in the British Press Awards, in 1985 and 1987. He is the author of the standard work on the philosopher G. E. Moore and the Cambridge Apostles and the editor of several volumes of Lytton Strachey's writings including The Letters of Lytton Strachey.
