Louis Segond (3 May 1810 – 18 June 1885) was a Swiss theologian who translated the Bible into French from the original texts in Hebrew and Greek.
Segond's family was of modest wealth; his father was a Catholic shoemaker while his mother was a Protestant church of Geneva member, the denomination he would be baptized into.
The translation of the Old Testament, commissioned by the Vénérable Compagnie des Pasteurs de Genève, was published in two volumes in 1871.
A revised edition was commissioned for and published by the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1910.
