Sir Amias Paulet (died 1538) was an English soldier, official, and sheriff of Somerset and Dorset.
Amias Paulet was a skilled and respected soldier,[2] fighting in 1487 at the Battle of Stoke and was one of the 52 men subsequently knighted for their service.
In 1501, he was one of the west-country gentlemen who met with Catherine of Aragon, the future wife of Henry VII's son and heir, Arthur.
It is alleged that when Thomas Wolsey, not yet a man of much reputation, came to take possession of the benefice of Limington in Somerset, Paulet clapped him in the stocks.
The precise details are unknown and vague but it is likely that Wolsey and Paulet quarrelled over a minor issue, the former possibly being inebriated.
