Paul Ralph Ehrlich (born May 29, 1932) is a Stanford University professor and a renowned entomologist specializing in Lepidoptera (butterflies). He is the author of the best-selling but controversial book The Population Bomb (published 1968) and other books which apply the lessons of population zoology to economic issues such as resource use and population growth.

For his multiple predictions of impending mass famine and economic catastrophe, some have compared him to Thomas Malthus. His predictions of global collapse are controversial, and several of his specific projections for the period 1970-2000 did not occur. Ehrlich was, for example, the loser of the famous wager between Julian Simon and Paul Ehrlich over resource depletion.

With Stephen Schneider and two other authors, he critiqued Bjørn Lomborg's The Skeptical Environmentalist.
