PSG's wealth of talent, featuring Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, barely featured in a cagey first half from the visitors, who seemed happy to contain Dortmund and keep things tight.
After a goalless opening 45 minutes, Haaland broke the deadlock with 20 minutes remaining when he pounced on a loose ball in the six-yard box.
PSG replied almost immediately when Mbappe whipped a cross into the centre for Neymar to tap home.
But Haaland had the last word, fizzing a stunning strike from outside the box into the top corner to ensure Dortmund take a 2-1 lead to Paris.
