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.[2]
His zoological author abbreviation is Fauvel.[4]
