Paul Archer Tyler, Baron Tyler, CBE, PC, DL (born 29 October 1941) is a Liberal Democrat politician in the United Kingdom. He was a Member of Parliament (MP) from February to October 1974 and from 1992 to 2005, and now sits in the House of Lords as a life peer.

He was educated at Sherborne School and Exeter College, Oxford.

In 1964 Tyler was elected Britain's youngest County Councillor, and re-elected in 1967. He was vice-chairman of the Dartmoor National Park Committee and a member of the Devon & Cornwall Police Authority.

His first Parliamentary candidacy was for Totnes at the 1966 general election, when he came third.

At the 1970 general election, Tyler stood as the Liberal candidate in the Bodmin constituency, defending the seat held by the outgoing Liberal MP Peter Bessell. However, he lost to the Conservative candidate Robert Hicks.
