Manuel Paulo de Sousa Gentil (* 1870 , † 1937 ) was a Portuguese officer and colonial administrator.

As first lieutenant and port captain of Dili , Sousa Gentil was one of the commanders of the troops that besieged Mount Leolaco in 1912 during the Manufahi rebellion . After the rebel leader Boaventura was able to flee with many of his warriors, the Portuguese troops massacred 3,000 soldiers and civilians who had stayed behind.

When he resigned as governor, Sousa Gentil Luís Augusto de Oliveira Franco followed as "government commissioner" ( Portuguese encarregado do governo ). He had already been the interim governor of Portuguese Timor before Sousa Gentil.
