Paul Revere (September 28, 1856 – November 10, 1901) was a lawyer, writer, public speaker, and civic member of Morristown, New Jersey. He was the great-grandson of American revolutionary figure Paul Revere,[1][2][3] and his father was Navy officer and Union general Joseph Warren Revere.

In 1891, Revere became the founding chairman and president of the All Soul's Hospital Association, a Catholic hospital chain.[4][1][5]

In 1889, Revere was among the founders of the Sons of the American Revolution, later becoming its state treasurer and national Vice-President General. Circa 1898, he was the president of the Morristown Improvement Association.[6] Revere's other memberships included the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War; Washington Association of New Jersey; the Aztec Club of 1847's hereditary society; and the New York branch of a Reform Club. He served as president of the Morris County Golf Club, and Morris County Gun Club.[5]
