Paul Herbert Maloney (February 14, 1876 – March 26, 1967) was a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1914 to 1916.

He began employment as an office boy for a drayage company and served in the Louisiana National Guard from 1895 to 1898.

Maloney successfully challenged Representative James Z. Spearing for renomination to Congress in 1930 and was elected five times.

In 1940, facing a spirited challenge from anti-Longite attorney Hale Boggs, Maloney initially withdrew his bid for a sixth term, but reentered the race and subsequently lost to Boggs[1] in a controversial election which would later become the subject of the Supreme Court case United States v.

[2] He was nominated and confirmed to become collector of internal revenue for the New Orleans district, serving from December 16, 1940, to July 31, 1942.
