Paul Levi (1883 - 1930) was a German Communist and Social Democratic political leader. He was the head of the Communist Party of Germany following the assassination of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht in 1919. After being expelled for publicly criticising Communist Party tactics during the March Action, he joined the Independent Social Democratic Party and, when this party merged with the Social Democratic Party, he became one of the leaders of its left wing.
