Paul Onwuanibe (Born 29 June 1965) is a British-Nigerian business magnate. He is best known as the MD/CEO of Landmark Africa Group, an African-focused real estate company.
Onwuanibe was born in Paddington, London to George Onwuanibe and Dorothy Onwuanibe. His parents are of Nigerian descent. He has one elder sister, Angela, and one elder brother, Anthony.
His father was a diplomat and wanted his children to stay in touch with their Nigerian roots, so Paul and his siblings education would be a mix of both countries and cultures.

At 16, he was admitted into the University of Nigeria where he obtained a BSc (Hons) in Architecture.
