Pavel hrabě Huyn (German: Paul Graf Huyn) (17 February 1868 in Brno – 1 October 1946 in Bolzano) was a Moravian-German Roman Catholic clergyman. He was bishop of Brno from 1904 to 1916 and archbishop of Prague from 1916 to 1919.[1]
Archbishop Huyn was of aristocratic birth in the Hapsburg Austro-Hungarian Empire, so he dreaded an independent Czechoslavakia.[2]
He became later Titular Archbishop of Serdica (1919-1921) and Latin Patriarch of Alexandria (1921-1946).[1]
He was also assistant to the papal throne.
He was brother of Count Karl Georg Huyn, the Governor of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria in 1917-1918.

The posts of residential bishops in Czechoslovakia were mostly held by Church leaders of aristocratic origin, conservative mindset and pro-Habsburg orientation. Therefore, these dignitaries often regarded the fall of the pro-Catholic Habsburg monarchy as the loss of a firmly established confessional society and the end of state support for religion which they perceived as a tragedy and personal defeat. Prague Archbishop Pavel Huyn and Olomouc Archbishop Lev Skrbenský of Hříště embodied these concerns. It is thus understandable that they acted with considerable hostility towards Czechoslovakia.
