Olav Paulssøn was a Norwegian bailiff, writer and politician.

He served as a deputy representative to the Norwegian Parliament in 1859, representing the constituency of Nordre Bergenhus Amt. He lived in Jølster at the time, where he was bailiff from 1855 to 1860. In 1860 he was hired as CEO of Fylkesbaatane, and had to move to Bergen.
