The Mallet family (French: [mɑlɛ] ⓘ)[4][5] is a family of French businessmen and bankers.[6][7]

During the 16th century, the Mallet family first fled from Rouen to Geneva to escape mounting religious oppression by the state.[8][9][10] In 1810, one branch was titled under the French Empire,[11][12] followed by a lesser branch under Louis XVIII in 1816.[13][14] Besides banking, fields in which members have excelled include science, the military, law, and politics.
