Paul B. Cutler is an American producer and guitarist, best known for his work with the Dream Syndicate and 45 Grave.

Cutler's first band, the Consumers, were the first punk rock band from Phoenix, Arizona. In 1979, he co-founded the punk and gothic band 45 Grave, with whom he played off and on until 1990. 45 Grave formed alongside another Cutler band with almost the same lineup called Vox Pop, which produced two singles.

In 1981, he played bass with the LAFMS-affiliated art group Bpeople, also producing and engineering their eponymous 1981 single, and producing and remixing their 1986 compilation album Petrified Conditions 1979-1981. In 1982, Cutler played on the "Life Out on the Lawn" 12" EP by Gleaming Spires; that same year, he engineered and produced the debut EP by Los Angeles-based Paisley Underground band the Dream Syndicate, and later joined them on guitar for their final two albums, Out of the Grey (1986) and Ghost Stories (1988), before their 1989 demise.

Cutler produced the 1985 record Wonder Wonderful Wonderland by Plasticland, though it seems his advice was "generally ignored".

Cutler is no longer actively playing music, but it still involved in the music industry, working as a graphic designer with Goldenvoice, a music production company now owned by AEG. He is cited as being responsible for producing the "look and feel" of the Coachella Festival posters and themes.
