Paul Lacombe Hatfield (13 March 1873 – 28 January 1935) was a Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was born in Arcadia, Nova Scotia[2] and became a broker, insurance agent and master mariner. He also served as a warden and municipal councillor for Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.

The son of Abraham Hatfield and Margaret Short, he established himself in Yarmouth.[3]

He was first elected to Parliament at the Yarmouth and Clare riding in the 1921 general election.

Hatfield was re-elected in 1926.

He was appointed to the Senate on 7 October 1926 and remained in that role until his death on 28 January 1935.
