Paul Szabo (born September 12, 1962) is a Canadian former international rugby union player.[1]

Born in New Westminster, British Columbia, Szabo was a Brit Lions prop, capped nine times for Canada between 1989 and 1993. He scored two tries in a match against Wales "B" in Edmonton in 1989 and later that year made his first capped appearance, against an Ireland XV.[2] In 1991, Szabo made Canada's Rugby World Cup squad and spent the pool stages as a reserve, before replacing an injured Dan Jackart for the quarter-final against the All Blacks.[3]
