Paul Chambers (born July 23, 1982) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
He was promoted off the Geelong rookie list in 2002 before making his debut in Round 4 of that year against St. Kilda.
He was traded to the Sydney Swans at the end of the 2005 season in exchange for pick 35 (Stephen Owen.) He made his debut for Sydney in Round 1, 2006 against Essendon.
After recording zero kicks in eight of the Swans' first 12 premiership round matches, Chambers was dropped to the club's reserves team. This lack of kicks led many of the fans and Sydney's major newspaper, The Sydney Morning Herald to give Chambers the nickname of 'The Donut King'. However, on a Swans fan website Red and White Online he also has the nickname of "Torture" Chambers (assigned by Red and White Online poster giant) for much the same reason.
At Geelong he was referred to as 'Unco' and 'Sarge'. Paul Roos has referred to him as 'Sarge' in at least one media conference.
