Captain Paul Hobson (died 1666) was an antinomian Particular Baptist who served in the parliamentary army during the English Civil War.[1]

He was one of the signatories to the Baptist Confession of 1644, who later adopted Fifth Monarchy ideas,[2] and later arrested for his part in the Farnley Wood Plot.
