Paul Harold Dunn (April 24, 1924 – January 9, 1998) was a general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Dunn was widely considered one of the most dynamic speakers among the general authorities in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1991, Dunn stated that he had "not always been accurate" in his speeches and writings〔Paul H. Dunn, "An open letter to members of the Church", ''Church News'', October 26, 1991.〕 after it was reported that he "made up many of the stories about baseball and battle he told as personal experiences".〔Associated Press, ("Arizona Paper Alleges Many Stories Were Exaggerated" ), ''Deseret News'', February 16, 1991.〕 ==Biography== Born in Provo, Utah, to Joshua Harold Dunn and Geneve Roberts, Dunn was baptized a member of the LDS Church at the age of eight.

McKay called Dunn as a general authority and member of the First Council of the Seventy. While in this position, Dunn was the president of the church's New England Mission from 1968 to 1971.
