Paul Wilhelm Bürck was a German painter, graphic artist and textile designer who worked, among other things, as a member of the Darmstadt artists' colony on the Mathildenhöhe.

After training as a decorative painter (1894-1897) under Adolf Lentner and graduating from the Munich School of Applied Arts (1895-1897) at the same time, Bürck was appointed to the Darmstadt artists' colony by Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig in 1899. At just over 20 years of age, he was the youngest of the seven founding members. When his contract was not renewed, he left in 1902 to become a teacher of letterpress printing and lithography at the School of Arts and Crafts in Magdeburg, where he remained for two years. After a three-year study visit to Rome (1905–1908), he settled in Munich as a freelance painter and graphic artist, where he lived until his death.
