让·亨利·法布尔（Jean Henri Fabre，1823 年 12 月 22 日出生于法国圣莱昂，1915 年 10 月 11 日卒于 Sérignan-du-Comtat），法国昆虫学家，以研究昆虫的解剖学和行为而闻名。 法布尔在很大程度上是自学成才的，他被任命为卡彭特拉中学的老师，神父。 （1842 年），在科西嘉岛阿雅克肖中学担任物理教师（1843-51 年），并在阿维尼翁中学（1853 年）获得了教学职位。 法布尔对膜翅目（例如蜜蜂和黄蜂）、鞘翅目（例如甲虫）和直翅目（例如蚱蜢、蟋蟀）进行了重要的研究。根据他对黄蜂对猎物刺激区域的反应的麻痹行为的观察，他描述了遗传本能作为昆虫行为模式的重要性。 1866 年，他从茜草植物中分离出一种着色物质，后来被确定为茜素，可用作生物染色剂。他写了很多书来普及科学。虽然法布尔从未接受进化论，但他的工作受到达尔文的尊重。

Renowned for only the last five years of his generally impoverished life (1823-1915), J. Henri Fabre is nonetheless recognized as one of the most respected and beloved entomologists in the world. He devoted his life to the study of insects and carefully (and beautifully) described his findings in book after book. Fabre was eighty-four when the last of the ten volumes of his magnum opus appeared—Souvenirs Entomologiques. He was suddenly discovered by such eminent literary figures as Maurice Maeterlinck, Edmund Rostand and Roman Rolland. Scientific societies in London, Brussels, Stockholm, Geneva and St. Petersburg elected him to membership. The French government gave him an annual pension. All students of insect behavior, of comparative psychology, of experimental biology are indebted to him.
