Paul Callaghan (born 2 August 1971) is an Irish Gaelic football coach and former goalkeeper for the Donegal county team. First called into the senior county team in 1991, he was reserve goalkeeper when the team won the Sam Maguire Cup the following year by defeating Dublin in the final.

Callaghan's appearances for his county were limited by the form of Gary Walsh and he did not make his championship debut until after Walsh's retirement in 1996. Callaghan then injured himself during a game two years later and lost his position in the team to Tony Blake.
