Pey de Garros (1530 - 1585), was a Provençal poet who was instrumental in the evolution of the Gascon dialect into a literary language.

Garros was born at Lectoure, France. He studied law, theology, and Hebrew at the University of Toulouse and served as the avocat-général of Pau for a time. He strove to restore the Gascon dialect to prominence, translating the Psalms of David into the dialect in 1565 and publishing a volume of Gascon poetry (Poesias gasconas) in 1567. He died in Pau.
