Pierre Louis André Fauvel (8 October 1866 in Cherbourg – 12 September 1958 in Angers) was a French zoologist, who specialized in the study of polychaetes.
He worked as a préparateur of zoology at the faculty of sciences in Caen, and in 1897 received his doctorate at the Sorbonne with a thesis on Ampharetidae.
During the same year, he became a professor of zoology at the Université Catholique de l'Ouest in Angers, where he remained until his retirement in 1951.
[1][2] The polychaete family Fauveliopsidae bears his name, as does the genus Fauveliopsis.
[3] Along with his many writings on Polychaeta, he was also the author of publications in the fields of physiology and dietetics.
