Paul Reilly (born 10 May 1976) is an English former professional rugby league footballer who played for the Huddersfield Giants for 11 years until signing for Wakefield Trinity Wildcats for the 2008 season.

Reilly was not interested in rugby league as a child and only watched a few Huddersfield matches until a friend at school encouraged him to play for a local amateur side.

[3][6] He featured for his home town team in the 2006 Challenge Cup Final, where he performed a memorable try-saving tackle on Ade Gardner to keep his side in the game in the first half.

Reilly announced at the start of 2007's Super League XII that he had signed a one-year extension to his contract and intended to retire at the end of the season after 11 years with his hometown club.

It was announced in August 2007 that the Huddersfield Giants would not be renewing Reilly's contract, respecting his wish to retire, and he was proudly carried off the field by team-mates following the club's 16-22 play-off defeat by Hull F.C.
