Paul Cashman Reardon (December 23, 1909 – July 29, 1988) was an American justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court from 1962 to 1972. He was appointed by Governor John Volpe.

Early life, education, career, and military service Born in Quincy, Massachusetts to Dr. Daniel B. Reardon and Mary Cashman Reardon, Reardon attended Quincy High School where he was "the premier debater on the Quincy team". Reardon spent a year at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, before entering Harvard College, from which he received a B.A., cum laude, in 1932. He received his J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1935, and entered the practice of law with a Massachusetts firm that year.

In 1939, Reardon started his own practice and married Ann Leich. holding that despite imperfections in a plan to achieve racial desegregation of Boston's schools, the board carrying out this effort had acted within its authority to impose various rules towards this effort.
