Saint Francis of Paola, O.M. (or: Francesco di Paola or Saint Francis the Fire Handler; 27 March 1416 – 2 April 1507) was an Italian mendicant friar and the founder of the Roman Catholic Order of Minims. Unlike the majority of founders of men's religious orders, and like his patron saint, Francis was never ordained a priest.

=========================================================
Socha svatého Františka z Pauly se nalézá na návsi v obci Horineves v okrese Hradec Králové u križovatky silnic vedoucích do obcí Sendražice a Racice nad Trotinou. Barokní pískovcová socha pochází z roku 1738 a je pravdepodobne dílem barokního sochare Jirího Pacáka.
