Paul Crête (born April 8, 1953 in Hérouxville, Quebec) is a Canadian politician, who served as a Member of Parliament for the Bloc Québécois in the House of Commons of Canada from 1993 until 2009, when he announced that he was moving to provincial politics.
Prior to his political career, he was a school administrator. Crête was first elected in 1993 representing Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup in the 1993 Canadian general election, then re-elected in 1997 representing Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup—Témiscouata—Les Basques defeating former Quebec MNA France Dionne in a hotly contested five way race.
Crête was re-elected in the 2000 election and again in 2004 election for Rivière-du-Loup—Montmagny.
