Paul Melville (27 December 1956 – 21 November 1978) was an Australian cricketer. Melville was a right-handed batsman who played for the Victoria state cricket team.[1]


Melville made his first-class debut for Victoria against South Australia in the 1976/77 Sheffield Shield. He made 10 further first-class appearances for Victoria, the last coming against the touring England XI in the 1978/79 summer.[2] A hard-hitting batsman, Melville scored 511 runs at an average of 26.89. He made four half centuries, with a high score of 86,[3] against Western Australia.[4]


In 1978, Melville played for Rishton Cricket Club in the Lancashire League, scoring over 1000 runs, the second most runs in the league, only behind future Australian captain Allan Border.[5] At the start of the 1978/79 season, he played twice for Victoria, before being dropped from the side. On 20 November 1978 he complained of a headache, and died from a brain haemorrhage the next day.[6]
