Paul Anthony Romero is an American computer and video game music composer and classical pianist who has won awards for his work.

Romero has composed over 70 original soundtrack film and computer game scores, including the orchestral scores for the computer game series Heroes of Might and Magic with Robert King. The scores are so popular that Romero was obliged to compose his first symphony based on the best musical themes from his "Heroes" soundtrack. His Symphony No. 1, entitled "Heroes" was completed in 2008.

Romero is also the composer of the Sony Online Entertainment fantasy-themed MMORPG, EverQuest (from expansions Planes of Power to Dragons of Norrath). He won the Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI) Jerry Goldsmith Film Composers Award, and also received two National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) grants. Two of his original scores for the Heroes of Might and Magic series have been listed in GameSpot Magazine's All-time top ten computer game scores. The CD soundtrack collection from the complete Heroes series was released in January 2008 by Ubisoft.
