Paul "Wix" Wickens (born 27 March 1956) is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and record producer.

In a career spanning more than 40 years, Wickens has worked with artists including Paul McCartney, Nik Kershaw, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Bon Jovi, Edie Brickell and many others. Wickens has also been a member of McCartney's touring band.

In the early 1980s Wickens was a member of 'Woodhead Monroe', a band that issued two singles distributed by Stiff, "Mumbo Jumbo" and "Identify."

Wickens began touring with Paul McCartney in 1989. As of then, he has appeared on many of McCartney's albums and DVDs, and has become the musical director for many of McCartney's tours. He continues to tour with McCartney (as his keyboardist, occasional guitarist and backing vocalist), and of the four musicians in McCartney's touring band, he has worked with McCartney the longest by a considerable margin.

Wickens played on albums by Tommy Shaw of the American rock band 'Styx', 'the Damned', Tim Finn, Paul Carrack, Nik Kershaw, Jim Diamond, Boy George, and David Gilmour, and was the co-producer of the first 'Savage Progress' album. He also was the keyboardist and programmer for Edie Brickell & New Bohemians album, 'Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars' – which was where he first met Chris Whitten.

Wickens was also instrumental in making the 'BANDAGED' album the success it was, in aid of the British Broadcasting Commission 'Children in Need' charity.
