Paul Ferrier (March 29, 1843 - 1928), French dramatist, was born at Montpellier.

He had already produced several comedies when in 1873 he secured real success with two short pieces, Chez l'avocat and Les Incendies de Massoulard. Others of his numerous plays are Les Compensations (1876); L'Art de tramper les femmes (1890), with M. Najac.

One of Ferrier's greatest triumphs was the production with Fabrice Carré of Josephine vendue par ses sœurs (1886), an opera bouffée with music by Victor Roger. His opera libretti include La Marocaine (1879), music of Jacques Offenbach; Le Chevalier d'Harmental (1896) after the play of Alexandre Dumas, père, for the music of A Messager; La Fille de Tabarin (1901), with Victorien Sardou, music of Gabriel Pierné.
