Paul Gann (June 12, 1912 - September 11, 1989), with Howard Jarvis, was co-author of Proposition 13, the property tax-cutting initiative in California in 1978. Later, his Gann Amendment put a limit on state spending in California.

He was born in Clark County, Arkansas. He died in Sacramento, California. The widely-reported cause of death was AIDS but Gann had a history of heart disease and underwent bypass surgery in 1982 and 1983, requiring large blood-transfusions from which he probably contracted the HIV he tested postive for. Free from other symptoms at 77, a broken hip immobilized him, and death from pneumonia followed.
