Paul Menu (1876–1973) was a documentary photographer and operator, the son of a French optician.
He is the author of the first films shot in Romania (conducted between 10 May and 20 June 1897). The three shots he filmed at the initiative of the newspaper L’Indépendence Roumaine were presented on 8 June 1897 to an invited audience.
In 1898 he gave up cinematography for good, selling his camera to Gheorghe Marinescu.
