Rémy Perrier (14 June 1861, Tulle – 27 June 1936, Chaunac) was a French zoologist. He was the younger brother of zoologist Edmond Perrier (1844-1921) who directed the French National Museum of Natural History from 1900 to 1919 and founded the Friends of the Natural History Museum society in 1907.[1]

Rémy Perrier studied natural sciences at the École normale supérieure, afterwards teaching classes in Poitiers. From 1926 to 1931 he was a professor of zoology at the faculty des sciences in Paris. He was a member of the Société des lettres, sciences et arts de la Corrèze.[2]

Perrier specialized in research on the Prosobranchia (a subclass of snails).[3] He is also remembered for his study of sea cucumbers, being credited with creation of the taxonomic genus Gastrothuria.[4]
