Paul Laurence Dunbar Chambers, Jr. (April 22, 1935 – January 4, 1969), was a jazz double bassist.

He was also known for his bowed solos.
Chambers has released more than a dozen albums as a leader or co-leader, as a partner, and as the storyteller in trumpeter Miles Davis' "first great quintet" (1955–68) and with pianist Wynton Kelly (1963–68).
