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

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

In 1985, Fouvry showed that the first case of Fermat's Last Theorem is true for infinitely many primes.
