Paul Courto is a retired Australian rules footballer who played for Hobart in the Tasmanian Australian National Football League.

Courto played at full forward and was the league's leading goalkicker for the 1980 season.[1] He was also the leading goalkicker in the Winfield Statewide Cup. Courto became the first player from the Hobart Football Club to record more than 100 goals in a season (despite the fact that it was recorded in two separate TANFL-sanctioned competitions in the same season) finishing up with 121 goals in 1980. He was also a spectacular marker.[2]

Courto retired from the game after the 1982 TANFL Season at only 23 years old. He was named at full forward in Hobart's "Official Best Team 1947 to 2002".[3]
