Paul Abrahams (born 31 October 1973) is an English former footballer who played as a forward or as a winger in the Football League, most notably for Colchester United, where he made over 100 league appearances in two spells between 1992 and 1999. He also played for Brentford and for a number of non-league teams after retiring from the professional game through injury.
Born in Colchester, Abrahams began his career at hometown club Colchester United. He signed professional terms with the U's in summer 1992, having scored 46 goals in 31 youth-team games in the previous season. He had broken into Colchester's non-league double winning side during the 1991–92 season, making his debut as a substitute in a 4–2 win at Slough Town on 26 August 1991. Abrahams made three Conference appearances, all as substitute, and went on to play 55 Football League games for the U's until he joined Brentford for a fee of £30,000 in 1995. He made 35 appearances for Brentford, scoring eight times. He was loaned back to Colchester in late 1995 and re-signed permanently for the U's in 1996 for £20,000. He went on to become a key member of Steve Wignall's team, scoring an important golden goal against Peterborough United to put Colchester into the 1997 Football League Trophy Final, a game which Colchester lost in a penalty shoot-out to Carlisle United. Abrahams was a member of the 1998 Third Division play-off final winning team, although did not play a part in the match itself.
