Bob Paris (born Robert Clark Paris on December 14, 1960) is an American 1983 Mr. Universe bodybuilder and model who came out as a gay man in the July 1989 issue of the bodybuilding magazine Ironman.

He married former Playgirl model Rod Jackson, changing his last name to Jackson-Paris for a short while, only to divorce Jackson in 1996.

Bob Paris grew up in Indiana, playing high school football and track events. It was here that Bob first began lifting weights, leading him down the road to professional body building where he excelled. It was in 1984 while working out at a gym that he met Rod Jackson and the two soon fell in love. After Bob officially came out as a gay man, the two became involved in gay marriage advocacy and wrote several books on the subject, as well as made many television and magazine appearances along the way. In 1996, the two separated due to irreconcilable differences. In December of that same year Bob provided a candid interview for The Advocate talking about the divorce titled "The Other Side of Gay Marriage". Today, Bob Paris is still a strong gay rights advocate as well as a motivational speaker. He currently lives in both Los Angeles, California and the state of Washington.
