Arnold Paucker, OBE (Berlin, January 6, 1921 - London, October 13, 2016)[1] was a Jewish German-English historian. He was the long-time editor of the Leo Baeck Institute Year Book, published by the Leo Baeck Institute London.[2]

The primary subjects of his work were Jewish self-defense in Wilhelmine and Weimar Germany as well as Jewish resistance against the national socialist regime after 1933. An important theme of his was the rebuttal of the stereotype of "Jewish passivity." A particular research interest was the Central Association of German Citizens of Jewish Faith.
