Paul R. Berger (born 8 May 1963) is a professor in electrical and computer engineering at Ohio State University and physics (by courtesy), and a distinguished visiting professor (Docent) at Tampere University in Finland, recognized for his work on self-assembled quantum dots under strained-layer epitaxy, quantum tunneling based semiconductor devices and solution processable flexible electronics.

Berger was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2011 and was elected into the IEEE Electron Devices Society board of governors in 2020 Berger was general chair of the 2021 IEEE International Flexible Electronics Technology Conference (IFETC) in August 2021, which pivoted from Columbus, Ohio to fully virtual. Also in 2021, Berger was selected as the founding editor-in-chief of the new IEEE Journal on Flexible Electronics (J-FLEX), and editor-in-chief for 2023–2024.
