Paul Giordimaina (born 28 April 1960) is a Maltese singer, songwriter, composer and pianist from Rabat, Malta.

He has performed at various night clubs around Malta since the 1970s, including Nigret Nightclub in Rabat, Whisper Nightclub in Mosta, and BJ's in Paceville.

Giordimaina had his national debut in the rock opera Ġensna in 1980. Following this, he was in constant demand as a singer for the popular Festival Internazzjonali tal-Kanzunetta Maltija.

In 1991 he won the first edition of the Malta Song for Europe festival, which returned Malta to the Eurovision Song Contest after a sixteen-year hiatus. The song Could It Be (Paul Abela/Ray Mahoney), which he sang with Georgina, ended in 6th place at the pan-European contest, which too place in Rome that year.

Later on that year, he and Georgina were invited to perform in Cesme, Turkey.

Since then he has started collaborating with lyricist Fleur Balzan, and their collaboration has took them once again to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2011, when Glen Vella sang their song One Life. However, this song failed to qualify to the final from the semifinal in Dusseldorf.

He has also performed a number of times at the Malta Jazz Festival.

His jazz double album A Letter to Bernie was released in 2009.
