Paul Syverson is an American computer scientist best known for inventing onion routing, a feature of the Tor anonymity network.

In 2012, Foreign Policy magazine named Syverson, and Tor's co-creators Roger Dingledine and Nick Mathewson, among its Top 100 Global Thinkers "for making the web safe for whistleblowers".

In 2014, Syverson was named a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery.
