Pavel Thalmann (1901–1980) was a Swiss Trotskyist journalist and activist. He was an early member of the Communist Party of Switzerland (KPS), from which he was expelled and subsequently joined the Communist Party Opposition (KPS-O). During the Spanish Civil War, he joined the Workers' Party of Marxist Unification (POUM) and fought alongside anarchists in the Durruti Column. He later participated in the French resistance and remained active as an activist until the last years of his life.
