Paul Ngozi (born Paul Dobson Nyirongo; January 10, 1949 – 1989) was a Zambian musician who was prominent in the Zambian music scene in the 1970s and 1980s. He first became popular as the band leader of the Ngozi Family, a top^[2] local rock group which was one of the first groups to have its music classified as Zamrock.^[3][4]

He earned his place as a ‘sharp’ social commentator because the themes of his music were usually very close to society’s own lives and therefore easy to relate to. He is listed at number 81 of the most popular Zambians by The Zambian online newspaper.
