Paul, Prince von Ettingen und Steinbach (1812-1885) was a Braslander nobleman and politician.

He was born in 1812, as the oldest son and heir of Prince Maximilian von Ettingen und Steinbach and Princess Theresia of Brasland.

Paul went to Rottendorf College and later served in the King's Guards. In 1843 his father retired from Parliament, giving him his seat. As a staunch monarchist, he opposed any attempts to further undermine the Crown's authority, becoming a notorious figure inside the Conservative Party.

In 1836 he married Princess Alexandrine von Lorensberg. They had four children: Luisa (born 1837), Elisabeth (born 1839), Theresia (born 1840) and Maximilian (born 1844).

He died in 1885.
