Paul Hendrik Roux (28 September 1862 – 8 June 1911) was a Second Boer War general and a Protestant pastor in the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa (NGK).

Roux worked as an assistant preacher in Johannesburg and became a pastor in his own right at Vredefort (1891) in Orange Free State, and later at Senekal (1897).

This was the largest number of Boers captured in the war so far, even more than the 4000 at the surrender of general Piet Cronjé at Paardeberg on 27 February 1900.

Christiaan de Wet called it “a horrible murder of government, country and people” (Afrikaans: ’n gruwelike moord op regering, land en volk).

In 1905 he became pastor at Beaufort-Wes,[4] where he died in 1911 of sleeping sickness (African trypanosomiasis), contracted during his missionary work in Nyasaland (now Malawi).
