Paul Néaoutyine (French pronunciation: [pɔl neautin]; born October 12, 1951 in Poindimié) is a french New Caledonian politician.^[1] A Kanak of the Saint-Michel tribe, he has been president of the North Province of New Caledonia since 1999. He is a supporter of New Caledonian independence.

After schooling in private Catholic education, he left to study in France at the Université Lumière in Lyon, from which he graduated and then did a DEA in economics in 1977. Back in New Caledonia, he went to teach as assistant teacher at the Lapérouse public high school in Nouméa from 1979 to 1980 and from 1983 to 1985.

Paul Néaoutyine was involved in a car accident in the town of Poya on Tuesday April 25, 2023 between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. A gendarme patrol spotted his vehicle embedded in the fence of a property in the Moindah sector.1

Paul Néaoutyine's blood alcohol test was positive, with a concentration of 1.6 grams of alcohol in the blood. He could then be prosecuted for lack of control and driving under the influence of an alcoholic state.

In 2008, Paul Néaoutyine was given a 2-month suspended prison sentence by the Nouméa court. His wife had this time decided to file a complaint, after being attacked for the 3rd time.2

The elected representative of the North Province was not moved at the hearing.

On June 15, 2021, Paul Néaoutyine was sentenced on appeal to 4 months suspended prison sentence, and 1 million CFP francs in almond, in the "fleur de vie" case, for the offense of favoritism. 3

The fleur de vie association was awarded by the elected official between 2010 and 2016, a transport contract for disabled children, for an amount of more than 200 million CFP francs, and this without going through a call for 'offer, or competitive bidding, as is the normal protocol.
