José Alberto de Paula (born March 4, 1990) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Yankees.

De Paula began his career with the San Diego Padres organization. After the 2011 season, de Paula was added to the Padres' 40-man roster. After the 2013 season, the Padres waived de Paula, and he was claimed by the San Francisco Giants.

In 2014, de Paula suffered an oblique injury, and he did not pitch after July 23. The Giants designated de Paula for assignment on July 25, 2014.

The Yankees signed de Paula to a major league contract after the 2014 season. He suffered a shoulder injury during spring training. When he returned, de Paula pitched to a 1.53 earned run average in three games started for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders of the Class AAA International League before the Yankees promoted him to the major leagues on June 17, 2015. He made his major league debut on June 21, 2015 against the Detroit Tigers. The first pitch he threw in his debut resulted in surrendering a home run by Andrew Romine. He finished the game allowing one run in 3 13 innings. A few hours after the game, he was optioned back down to Triple-A. He was designated for assignment on June 24, to create room on the 40-man roster for Ivan Nova, who was activated from the disabled list. He elected free agency on November 6, 2015.
