Émile Deville (25 January 1824 – 8 January 1853) was a French physician, naturalist and taxidermist.
[1][2] Emile Deville, already an employee of Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, joined the 1843 expedition of Francis de Laporte de Castelnau (1810–1880) to South America with the doctor and botanist Hugh Algernon Weddell (1819–1877).
He returned with many bird specimens, especially parrots, including two new species, Bonaparte's parakeet and the dusky-headed parakeet, which he described in 1851.
He also described, with Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, the white-tailed titi, and with de Castelnau, some crabs.
A number of species bear his name, such as the blaze-winged parakeet, Pyrrhura devillei and the striated antbird, Drymophila devillei.
