Maxim Saury (February 27, 1928 – November 15, 2012) was a French jazz clarinetist and bandleader.

The son of a violinist, Saury began playing violin the age of twelve.

Shortly after World War II he began playing with Christian Azzi and Claude Bolling and briefly led a trio in 1949.

In the 1950s he founded the New Orleans Sound, which included Jean-Claude Naude, and went on several tours worldwide.

As a representative figure in French traditional jazz, he was frequently invited to play music, or the role of a musician, in film and television, including in Bonjour Tristesse, Young Sinners (Les Tricheurs), Mon oncle, and Adieu Philippine.
