Paul Za'im, known sometime also as Paul of Aleppo (1627 – 30 January 1669), was an Ottoman Syrian Orthodox clergyman, chronicler, and Archdeacon of Aleppo. Son of Patriarch Macarius III Ibn al-Za'im, Paul accompanied his father in his travels throughout Constantinople, Wallachia, Moldavia, Ukraine, and Russia, as an attempt to raise funds and support for their Church (from 1652 to 1659, and from 1666 to 1669).
