The Pauline epistles are the 13 New Testament letters traditionally attributed to the Apostle Paul: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon.

They are grouped in the New Testament between Acts and the general epistles, and the authorship of several (notably the Pastoral Epistles and Ephesians) is debated in modern scholarship.
