Paul Fenton (born 4 July 1946 in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England) is an English drummer, best known for his work with T. Rex. After leaving Christie,[1] he started playing drums for T. Rex in 1973, after being recommended to Marc Bolan by his producer Tony Visconti.

Fenton also played in Carmen, a progressive rock band with a flamenco focus.[2] The band released three albums between 1973 and 1975.
