Paul (Pol) Louis Carel Dom (Antwerp, 4 July 1885 - The Hague, 28 February 1978) was a versatile Belgian artist. He acquired Dutch nationality in 1936.

After studying at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Dom went to the painter's village of Laren in the Netherlands in 1909. They eventually settled in The Hague. He was a member of Pulchri Studio and the Haagse Kunstkring and exhibited frequently there. In addition, his work was shown at exhibitions in Amsterdam (St Lucas), The World Exhibitions of Paris (1937) and New York (1939) and further in Barcelona, Venice, Toronto (1940) and Buenos Aires.

Dom drew inspiration from a variety of materials and subjects. Apart from painting, he was above all a draughtsman and graphic artist.
