Paul Irwin Forster (born 1961) obtained his doctorate in 2004 with his thesis: The pursuit of plants : studies on the systematics, ecology and chemistry of the vascular flora of Australia and related regions, from the University of Queensland.

He has worked at the Queensland Herbarium since 1991 as a plant taxonomist and has been editor of ‘'Austrobaileya’' since 2005. His research interests are the systematics[2] of vascular plants and reproductive and conservation biology of cycads.[3][4][5]

He has also published extensively on plant-insect interactions. See, e.g.,[6][7][8][9]

The standard author abbreviation P.I.Forst. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[10]
