Sir James Paul McCartney, MBE (născut la 18 iunie 1942) este un cântăreţ şi compozitor englez, care s-a remarcat iniţial ca membru component al formaţiei The Beatles.
Recunoscut ca un simbol al secolului 20, McCartney este menţionat în The Guinness Book Of Records ca fiind compozitorul cu cel mai mare succes din istoria muzicii. El a înregistrat 29 de single-uri clasate pe locul întâi în clasamentele din [[Statele Unite], dintre care 20 interperete de The Beatles, iar restul interpretate fie de formaţia Wings sau de el ca artist solo. McCartney has written or co-written over fifty top ten hits, more than any other songwriter, and has been an influential bassist as well as an accomplished singer, guitarist, pianist, and drummer. With The Beatles, he was one half of the highly successful songwriting team credited as Lennon/McCartney, along with fellow bandmate John Lennon. Their compositions for The Beatles remain among the best known songs in rock and pop music. The most notable of The Beatles' songs generally attributed to McCartney alone include "Can't Buy Me Love", "Yesterday", "Hello Goodbye", "Penny Lane", "Hey Jude", "Let It Be", and "The Long and Winding Road."
Following the break-up of The Beatles on April 10th 1970, McCartney launched a successful solo career (released his first album on April 17th 1970) and formed the band Wings, scoring 30 top ten singles in the United Kingdom and United States. The keyboardist for Wings was McCartney's first wife, Linda McCartney. At the time of its release in 1977, the Wings single "Mull of Kintyre" became the highest selling record in British chart history (and remained so until 1984). McCartney has also worked in the fields of classical music (with works such as Liverpool Oratorio) and ambient/electronic music (under the pseudonym The Fireman).
Aside from his musical work, McCartney is a painter (although until recently he kept his artwork private) and a strong advocate for animal rights, landmine action, vegetarianism, and music education.
