Paul Louis Antoine Brocchi (2 May 1838 – 12 August 1898) was a French naturalist and agronomist born in Nancy.
In 1875, he received his degree in science at the Sorbonne with a thesis on decapods under the guidance of Henri Milne-Edwards (1800–1885).
For 25 years he taught classes at the École pratique des hautes études, and was successor to Émile Blanchard (1819–1900) at the Institut national agronomique.
[1] During his career he described numerous zoological taxa, and performed extensive investigations in the fields of aquaculture, apiculture, sericulture and livestock raising.
Brocchi was the author of the "amphibian section" in Auguste Duméril's "Mission scientifique au Mexique et dans l'Amérique Centrale".
