Paul Webb (born 1947 or 1948) is a British screenwriter and playwright.[1] He is known for writing the screenplay of the 2014 film Selma.[2] For his work in Selma, Webb won the Central Ohio Film Critics Association Award for Best Original Screenplay.[3] Webb was also nominated for the Satellite Award for Best Original Screenplay for his work in Selma, which he lost to Dan Gilroy for Nightcrawler.[4] In addition to Selma, Webb also served as one of the writers for the 2017 BET miniseries Madiba.[5]

Webb also wrote a play about the assassination of Thomas Becket titled Four Knights in Knaresborough, which was staged in London in 1999.[1] Among Webb's unrealized projects include a film adaptation of Four Knights (optioned by Harvey Weinstein), a film adaptation of the novel Spanish Assassins and an unused screenplay draft of Lincoln (2012).[1] Webb also wrote an epic-type screenplay for Michael Mann about the Russian oligarchs.[1]
