Dominique Fabre (30 June 1929 – 20 December 2010) was a Swiss screenwriter and novelist.[1] His book Un Beau Monstre received the Grand Prix de Littérature Policière in 1968.[2] He is not to be confused with the current French author Dominique Fabre.[1]

Fabre started his career as a journalist before becoming a screenwriter. He most frequently worked with film director Étienne Périer. Fabre also wrote three crime novels in the late 1960s and early 1970s.[3] Later in his life, he wrote mostly for television.

Fabre died in Pfeffikon on 20 December 2010, at the age of 81.[4]
