Paulo Bellinati (born 1950 in São Paulo) is a Brazilian classical guitarist and composer. He studied classical guitar with Isaias Sávio and graduated from the Conservátorio Dramático e Musical de São Paulo.

Bellinati is particularly well known for three of his own compositions — “Jongo,” “Um Amor de Valsa,” and “Baião de Gude” — which have become staples of the Brazilian guitar repertoire. His career has taken him across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, performing solo and with musicians including Steve Swallow and Mônica Salmaso.
