Félix-Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Nève (born Ath, United Kingdom of the Netherlands, 13 June 1816; died Leuven, 23 May 1893) was an Orientalist and philologist.
His taste for classical and Semitic languages led him to pursue higher studies under some renowned scholars, Professors Lassen of Bonn, Tiersch of Munich, and Burnouf of Paris.
Among these were William Muir, H. H. Wilson, Albrecht Weber, Alexander Kuhn, Max Muller, and Karl Joseph Hieronymus Windischmann.
This work he kept up for thirty-six years, at the same time making known the results of his studies in books and in the articles contributed to the Journal Asiatique, Annales de Philosophie Chrétienne, Correspondent, and other periodicals.
Among these may be mentioned: His publications bearing on philology include his account of the learned men who in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries worked to build the University of Leuven, La renaissance des lettres et l' essor de l'érudition ancienne en Belgique.
