Frédéric Mistral (September 8, 1830—March 25, 1914) was a French poet who led the 19th century revival of Occitan (Provençal) language and literature. He was a key figure in the literary félibrige movement.
He shared the Nobel Prize in literature in 1904 for his contributions in literature and philology. Mistral's father was a well-to-do farmer in the former French province of Provence.
He was born and died in Maillane, Bouches-du-Rhône département, France.
In his honour, the Chilean poet Lucila Godoy Alcayaga took the last name of her pseudonym, Gabriela Mistral.
