{{Short description|Danish merchant and shipowner}} thumb|Poul Pagh '''Poul Pagh''' (14 February 1796 – 30 November 1870) was a Danish merchant and shipowner who played an important role in developing industry and commerce in the city of Aalborg. In 1827, he started a thriving trading business based in N.C. Rasch's mansion on the city's Vesterågade waterfront, which had a ferry pier and an inn. He soon became a shipping operator with his own wharfs, including one in Nørresundby, and later developed a successful timber business. In 1857, he converted a local windmill into the first steam-driven mill in the north of Jutland.<ref>[http://www.aalborgkommune.dk/Borger/sundhed-og-sygdom/doedsfald-og-begravelse/Kirkegaarde/Documents/Kendte-personer-begravet-paa-Almen-Kirkegaard.pdf "Poul Pagh, 1796 – †1870"]{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, "Om kendte personer begravet på Almen Kirkegård", Aalborg Kommune. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 4 April 2013.</ref><ref>[http://www.denstoredanske.dk/Dansk_Biografisk_Leksikon/Handel_og_industri/K%C3%B8bmand/Poul_Pagh "Paul Pagh"], ''Dansk Biografisk Leksikon''. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 4 September 2013.</ref>
