An improved vandal-resistant paper towel dispenser for public washrooms includes a mechanism for storing and dispensing paper towels (14, 16) and an outer housing (12) for encasing the mechanism. The outer housing includes a rear mounting surface (18) that is adapted to be secured to a wall, and a shell-like forward surface (22), connected to the rear mounting surface, for protecting the mechanism from individuals who might have destructive intent. Advantageously, the shell-like forward surface is softly rounded to an extent that it is practically impossible to obtain a handhold on the top or sides of the outer housing, whereby a vandal will be prevented from grabbing the dispenser and pulling it off the wall.
