The Léo-Pariseau Prize is a Québécois prize which is awarded annually to a distinguished individual working in the field of biological or health sciences.
The prize is awarded by the Association francophone pour le savoir (Acfas), and is named after Léo Pariseau, the first president of Acfas.
Prior to 1980 the prize was awarded to researchers in a large variety of disciplines, before being restricted to biological and health sciences.
There are now ten annual prizes for researchers in different disciplines.
