Paul Henckels (9 September 1885 – 27 May 1967) was a German film and stage actor.

Among his most popular roles were the school teacher Professor Bömmel in Die Feuerzangenbowle (1944) and the veterinarian Dr. Pudlich in the "Immenhof film series" during the 1950s.

As a rare exception, Henckels was nonetheless allowed to work during the Third Reich.

He apparently owed this exception to the intervention of his friend Gustaf Gründgens and to his continuing popularity as a character actor.

She could not work during the Third Reich, but her connections and Henckel's apparently prevented her from being deported to concentration camps.
