Emmanuel Bove (20 April 1898 – 19 July 1945) was a French writer, who also published under the pseudonyms of Pierre Dugast and Jean Vallois.

There he began his writing career, publishing numerous popular novels under the pseudonym Jean Vallois.

His work came to the attention of Colette, who helped him publish his first novel under his own name, Mes amis (My Friends) in 1924.

The novel became a success and he consistently published until the Second World War, winning the prix Figuière in 1928.

He managed to escape to Algiers in 1942, where he wrote his three final novels: le Piège, Départ dans la nuit and Non-lieu.
