Paolo Paruta (14 May 1540 – 6 December 1598) was a Venetian historian and statesman.
He was born at Venice of a Luccan family. After studying at Padua he served the Republic of Venice in various political capacities, including that of secretary to one of the Venetian delegates at the Council of Ten.
In 1562 he accompanied the ambassador Michele Suriano to the Court of Emperor Maximilian II and acted as official historiographer of the Republic; during which office he delivered the funeral oration for those killed at the naval battle of Lepanto (1571).
After the change of government he was made savio di Terraferma (minister for the administration of the Terraferma), and became a senator.
In 1579 he was appointed official historian to the republic, in succession to Luigi Contarini. He took up the narrative from where Cardinal Bembo had left it, in 1513, and brought it down to 1551. He was made provveditore to the Chamber of Loans in 1580, Commisario del Cadore (1589), savio del consiglio in 1590, ambassador to the pope in Rome (1592–95) and governor of Brescia (1590–92).
In 1596 he was appointed procurator of St. Mark's (1596, next in dignity to the doge), and provveditore delle fortezze (superintendent of fortifications) in 1597. He died in Venice.
