St. Paul is a town in east-central Alberta, Canada within the County of St. Paul No. 19. It was formerly called St. Paul des Métis and was originally a mission to the Metis people until 1909, when it was opened to other groups, primarily the French-Catholic.

St. Paul's major economic strengths are agriculture and the service industry. This has helped St. Paul maintain a degree of stability during the oil boom and bust cycles that Alberta is so dependent upon. St. Paul is located in Alberta's Lakeland tourism district.
