Paul Egede (1708-1789) was a Danish theologian, missionary to Greenland and scholar of the Inuit language.

Egede was born on Greenland, the son of Danish-Norwegian missionary Hans Egede. He assisted his father in the Greenland mission, of which he later published a history. He translated part of the Bible into the language of the country, and composed a grammar and a dictionary of it.
