Jules Bourcier

Jules Bourcier (1797 – 9 March 1873) was a French naturalist.

Bourcier was an expert on hummingbirds, and named a number of new species, either alone or with other ornithologists such as Adolphe Delattre and Martial Etienne Mulsant.

Bourcier was the French consul to Ecuador from 1849 to 1850 and died in Paris in 1873.
