Paul Clough (born 27 September 1987), also known by the nickname of "Cloughy", is an English professional rugby league footballer who plays as a prop or second-row forward for Widnes Vikings in the RFL Championship and the England Knights at international level.

In November 2006 Paul Clough was promoted to train full-time with the St Helens' first team squad.

Clough was expected to compete for a regular first team spot over the next few years and was given the number 22 jersey for the 2007's Super League XII.

Clough was a powerful second rower, a driving force in the tackle, and a player who was already physically imposing, especially considering his age.

In November 2016 Clough signed for the Huddersfield Giants on a two-year deal beginning at the start of the 2017 Super League season.
