Michael Ralph Paine (June 25, 1928 – March 1, 2018) was an American engineer who became notable after the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, as he was an acquaintance of Lee Harvey Oswald. His wife, Ruth Paine, housed Oswald's wife, Marina Oswald, in her home for several months until the day after the assassination. Supporters of the Warren Commission's analysis of the assassination have generally had a positive view of the Paines, but various conspiracy theorists have speculated that they may have had an ulterior motive.
