Exploits and Opinions of Dr. Faustroll, Pataphysician (original title in French: Gestes et opinions du docteur Faustroll pataphysicien : Roman néo-scientifique suivi de Spéculations) is a novel by French Symbolist author Alfred Jarry which influenced Surrealism. It features Doctor Faustroll (an allusion to Doctor Faustus), a scientist who is born in 1898 in Circassia at the age of 63, and who dies the same year at the same age.

Written in 1898, the novel was first published posthumously in 1911 by Fasquelle. It was published in paperback in 2007 by Arléa (Arléa-Poche) on the centenary of Jarry's death.
