Paulus Bor, c 1601–August 10, 1669, was a Dutch painter from Amersfoort. His early training is not documented. He was in Rome in the early 1620s, where he was a founding member of the Bentvueghels, an association of Dutch and Flemish artists, and used the nickname Orlando.
Bor had returned to Amersfoort by 1626 and joined the Brotherhood of Saint Luke. He later worked with Jacob van Campen on paintings for Honselaarsdijk, the palace of Frederik Hendrik. In 1656 he became a regent of the De Armen de Poth almshouse in Amersfoort.
His paintings are held by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
