Paul Deeb (born Maryland, USA, 1965) is an American light and sound designer and environmental artist, famous for temporary and permanent private and public installations throughout the Middle Atlantic region and the Southwest. His work primarily utilizes natural forces - light, wind and physics - to create moving artworks. In 2004, Deeb and his firm Vox Environmental Arts, created a temporary illumination artwork on the facades of the Miami World Trade Center during the week of the Art Basel International Art Show. The building, also known as the Bank of America tower, is an I.M. Pei skyscraper completed in 1986. The 47-floor tower, atop a 10-story parking garage, was illuminated with approximately 400 fixtures outfitted with "optical convectors", which move the light without moving the fixture. Each night of the week-long Art Basel event, a different color palette was displayed, using gel filters installed each day by Deeb and his team. Deeb was awarded a 2005 IIDA Award of Merit for the Miami World Trade Center installation.

In 2012, Deeb shifted his creative focus from environmental art to independent filmmaking and photography, with the founding of Pillow Book Productions Inc.

Deeb lives and works in California.
