Paul Henry Maty (1744 – 16 January 1787) was an English librarian.
In 1777 he published his religious doubts about the 39 articles in the Gentleman's Magazine.
With his Ecclesiastical advancement thus impeded, he became an assistant librarian, and then under-librarian, at the British Museum.
[2] He also obtained the job of foreign secretary, and subsequently general secretary, to the Society – although taking Charles Hutton's side in his dispute with the president Joseph Banks forced Maty's resignation in 1784.
He indexed the Philosophical Transactions, collaborated with Samuel Ayscough on a catalogue of the British Museum's printed books, and translated the Travels through Germany of Johann Kaspar Riesbeck (1754-1786).
