Paul Friedrichs (21 March 1940 – 30 August 2012) was an East German motocross and enduro racer. He competed in the FIM Motocross World Championships from 1961 to 1972. Despite not being able to compete in nations like West Germany due to political tensions at the height of the Cold War, Friedrichs was still able to win three consecutive Motocross World Championships between 1966 to 1968.
