Paul Charles Gaudoin (born 12 August 1975) is an Australian former field hockey defender and midfielder. He was a member of the Australia men's national field hockey team that won bronze at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta and the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.[1] He was captain of the team that won gold at the 2002 Commonwealth Games.[2][3]
Gaudoin took over as coach of the Australia women's national field hockey team at the end of 2016 and lifted the Hockeyroos to second on the world rankings three years later. He quit in March 2021, just four months out from the Tokyo Olympics, ahead of the release of findings and recommendations of an independent review into the team's cultural problems.[4]
