Preafericitul Pavel al Alexandriei a fost patriarh și papă al Bisericii Alexandriei între anii 537 și 542. Patriarhul Pavel a fost membru al partidei calcedoniene din Alexandria.

Viața

Little is known of his early life. Paul was the first episcop of the Chalcedonian party since 482 to be elected patriarch after the election of a series of non-Chalcedonian patriarchs of Alexandria. Paul was elected patriarch after Patr. Gainas, a Miaphysite, was forced from office by emperor Iustinian and exiled to Sardinia. Paul's election formalized the schismă between the Chalcedonians and non-Chalcedonians that had been developing since the Fourth Ecumenical Council resulting in separate Greek and Coptic lineages that have continued until today.

According to Zacharias Rhetor, Patr. Paul was driven from the patriarchal cathedra for involvement in a murder and was succeeded by a călugăr named Zoil.
