Édouard Ferdinand Ernest Maire (28 February 1848 – 19 August 1932) was a French missionary and plant collector in China.

[1] Between 1905 and 1916 he sent the plant material he collected to various herbaria in Europe.

He collected most actively on the plateaus surrounding his seat in Kunming, but he sometimes made trips to the more than 3000 m high limestone mountains near Dongchuan to the North-East.

[2][4][5][6][7] Specimens collected by Maire are housed in multiple herbaria, including at the National Herbarium of Victoria (MEL), Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria.
