Paul Weller (born 3 April 1959) is an Australian politician and was the Nationals member for Rodney in the Victorian Legislative Assembly from 2006 to 2014.
Weller is a former dairy farmer from Lockington in Northern Victoria. Before entering Parliament he served as President of the Victorian Farmers Federation. Weller won pre-selection for Rodney after the retirement of Noel Maughan in 2006. Despite the Labor Party, preferencing his Liberal opponent, Weller won 40% of the primary vote and 54% of the two-party-preferred vote
In February 2014, he was elected Deputy Speaker of the Legislative Assembly under Christine Fyffe. His seat was abolished before the 2014 election and he contested the Legislative Council seat of Northern Victoria in the unwinnable fourth position on the Coalition ticket.
