Etienne Pasquier (1529 – 1615) was a French lawyer and man of letters.
In 1558 he became very ill by eating poisonous mushrooms and took two years to recover. This compelled him to occupy himself with literary work and in 1560 he published the first book of his Recherches de la France. In 1565, when he was thirty-seven he became famous after giving a speech in which he pleaded the cause of the University of Paris against the Jesuits and won it.
Meanwhile, he pursued the Recherches steadily and published other miscellaneous work from time to time.
