Paul Maurice Pallary (9 March 1869, in Mers-el-Kebir, French Algeria – 9 January 1942, in Oran, Vichy French Algeria) was a French-Algerian malacologist and arachnologist.
His pioneering research on molluscs was mainly concentrated in the western part of the Mediterranean Sea and in the Middle East. He was a prolific writer on malacofauna, but his interests also extended to other fields of zoology, most notably arachnology, and he published several papers on scorpions. He additionally pursued geology, and in particular the prehistory of Northern Africa. He became known as the "Dean of North African Prehistory". In 1892, he discovered, together with François Doumergue, several paleolithic and neolithic caves at Cuartel and Kouchet El Djir, Oran.
