Joseph-Marin-Adolphe Noël des Vergers (2 June 1805 – 2 January 1867) was a 19th-century French archaeologist, historian, etruscologist, orientalist and epigrapher.

While very young he was passionate about science and became the university assistant of the chemist Baron Louis Jacques Thénard.

Also passionate about traveling he went to Italy, Greece, the Near East, where he learned Arabic and translated the book Une Vie de Mohamed by Abou'Iféda.

Between 1850 and 1856, he began excavations on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea with the help of an Italian archaeologist Alessandro François, enabling him to discover the port of Populonia.

In 1857, they discovered 19 untouched burial chambers near Vulci, known since under the name François Tomb whose frescoes evoke the warlike scenes taken from the Iliad by Homer which for the first time told the life of the Etruscans.
