Sir Paul Lancelot Hawkins TD (7 August 1912 – 29 December 2002) was a British Conservative Party politician. Hawkins was born at Downham Market and was educated at Cheltenham College. He was a livestock auctioneer and chartered surveyor, and served as a councillor on Norfolk County Council. He joined the Territorial Army (TA) and served during World War II with the 7th Battalion of the Royal Norfolk Regiment, a TA unit, although his active service was brief as he was captured at Saint-Valery-en-Caux during the final stages of the Battle of France in 1940 and spent the next five years as a prisoner of war.
