Paul Raimonda (1922–1988) was a community leader and lifelong resident of Long Island City. He served as the head of the Astoria Heights Homeowners and Tenants Association, an organization he founded in 1971 to provide residents with a unified voice.

A graduate of P.S. 126 and William C. Bryant High School, Raimonda served four years in the Army Air Corps during World War II. While he was an active member of the Long Island Seneca Club, he is best known for his leadership in the 1980 campaign to block a state takeover and expansion of Rikers Island. Raimonda also served on Community Board 1 and the Liberty Regular Democratic Club. In April 1987, the Italian American Regular Democratic Association of Queens named him "Man of the Year," an honor that included recognition from Governor Mario Cuomo.
