Paul L. Douglas (19 September 1927 - 5 November 2012) was a Republican politician and served as Nebraska Attorney General from 1975 until his resignation in 1984.
Douglas, a graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Law, was a local attorney in Lancaster County, Nebraska until he was elected state Attorney General in 1974. He was re-elected in 1978 and in 1982.
In 1984, Douglas was indicted by the Nebraska Unicameral Legislature for "allegedly lying about his affairs with a bankruptcy bank (Commonwealth Commonwealth Corp Lincoln) and failing to investigate the agency." He was the only Nebraska official dismissed in the 20th century. The Supreme Court of Nebraska tried to impeachment Douglas and found him innocent, allowing him to remain in office.
He was later found guilty of a false oath in state court, and resigned from his post.
