Guillaume Rondelet (1507-1566), known also as Rondeletius, was professor of medicine at the University of Montpellier in southern France. Famed as a teacher, Rondelet was also the author of a book Libri de Piscibus Marinis on the natural history of fishes.

He may have been the model for Dr. Rondibilis in the Tiers livre of François Rabelais.
