Étienne Fouvry (French pronunciation: [etjɛn fuvʁi], born 1953[1]) is a French mathematician working primarily in analytic number theory.[2]

Fouvry defended his dissertation in 1981 at the University of Bordeaux under the joint direction of Henryk Iwaniec and Jean-Marc Deshouillers.[3] He is an emeritus professor at Paris-Saclay University and the 2021 recipient of the Sophie Germain Prize.[2]
