Paul Radin (April 2, 1883February 21, 1959) was a widely-read American anthropologist of the early twentieth century. A student of Franz Boas at Columbia, the Lodz-born Radin counted Edward Sapir and Robert Lowie among his classmates. He began years of productive fieldwork among the Winnebago Indians (now properly the Ho-Chunk Nation) in 1908. His books are several, but his most enduring publication to date is "The Trickster" (1956), which includes essays by pioneering Greek-myth scholar Karl Kerényi and psychoanalyst C.G. Jung.

Radin taught at a number of colleges and universities, including Kenyon College in 1947, 1949-52.
