Paul Alexandre Alfred Leroy (1860 in Paris – 1942) was a French painter noted for Orientalist works.

[1] At Beaux Artes, he met Georges Landelle (1860–1898), an Orientalist painter and the pair became life-long friends.

[2] In 1893, Leroy, along with artists, Maurice Bompard, Eugène Girardet, Alphonse-Étienne Dinet, Jean-Léon Gérôme, Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant and art historian, Léonce Bénédite, became founding members of the Société des Peintres Orientalistes Français which was responsible for promoting Orientalist art, mounting exhibitions and generally encouraging artists who wished to travel to the Orient.

The logo incorporated the sickle moon, the star of David and the black hand of Fatma.

Leroy's lithographs were also used extensively in the Society's graphic artwork including menus, posters and brochures.
