Paul Hogan (born 30 August 1963 in Dudley) is an English darts player who competes for the British Darts Organisation. He is nicknamed "Crocodile Dundee" after the movie starring his namesake, the Australian actor Paul Hogan.
Hogan made his World Championship debut in 1995, reaching the quarter finals. He beat Per Skau and Sean Palfrey before losing to Richie Burnett who went on to win the tournament. He returned the next year but couldn't repeat his performance of twelve months earlier, losing in the first round to Matt Clark. He failed to qualify for 1997 and 98 but did so for the 1999 World Championship, but again lost in the first round to Colin Monk. It wouldn't be until 2004 where Hogan would return to the Lakeside, beating Bob Taylor in the first round but lost in the second round to then-reigning World Champion Raymond van Barneveld. In 2006, he equalled his best performance at the Lakeside with a quarter-final place. He beat Dutchmen Mareno Michels and Albertino Essers in the first two rounds before losing to another Dutchman Jelle Klaasen who, like Burnett 11 years earlier, was the eventual champion. Hogan returned in 2007, but lost in the first round to Shaun Greatbatch. Hogan subsequently failed to qualify for several years afterwards.
Hogan has also reached the last 32 stage of the Winmau World Masters on three occasions, in 1989, 1998 , 2003 and 2014. Hogan also played in the UK Open in 2003, losing in the second round to Terry Jenkins.
