Paul Cook was a founding member and drummer of the progressive rock band IQ. In 2005 Paul was replaced in IQ by Andy Edwards.

Although both share the same name, sources including Allmusic have wrongly listed IQ's Paul Cook as the same Paul Cook who was part of the famed Sex Pistols.

In 2009 IQ's Andy Edwards decided to take a sabbatical so the group temporarily reunited with their original sticksman Paul Cook again.
