Monsieur Fabre is a 1951 French historical comedy film directed by Henri Diamant-Berger and starring Pierre Fresnay, Elina Labourdette and André Randall.

[1] The film's sets were designed by the art director Robert Giordani.

It centres on the life of the entomologist Jean-Henri Fabre and his total devotion to studying insect behavior, travelling from Avignon to Paris, from Paris to his death in Sérignan.

He is honoured by the French president Raymond Poincaré and his patience, obstinacy and knowledge are also recognised by Napoleon III, the publisher Charles Delagrave and the philosopher John Stuart Mill.

They reach their climax in his book, Souvenirs entomologiques.
