Paper Man is a 1971 American television horror film transmitted as one of the "Friday Night Movies" which CBS-TV was then including in its prime-time programming.

It was directed by Walter Grauman, and dramatized for television by James D. Buchanan and Ronald Austin, both of whom were working from a story written by Anthony Wilson.

Four college students (Stefanie Powers, James Stacy, Elliott Street, and Tina Chen) take advantage of a credit card mistakenly issued to someone who does not exist by using their university's computer to counterfeit an entire identity and erase the charges they run up on it – done by Avery (Dean Stockwell), a computer wiz to fix everything for them.

Paper Man was produced at a time when identity theft was neither as common a crime, nor as difficult to commit, as it later became.
