儒勒·加布里埃尔·凡尔纳（法语：Jules Gabriel Verne，1828年2月8日－1905年3月24日），或译朱尔·凡尔纳的法国小说家、博物学家，科普作家，现代科幻小说的重要开创者之一。他一生写了六十多部大大小小的科幻小说，总题为《在已知和未知的世界漫游》。他以其大量著作和突出贡献，被誉为“科幻小说之父”。由于凡尔纳知识非常丰富，他小说作品的著述、描写多有科学根据，所以当时他小说的幻想，如今成为了有趣的预言。

Jules Gabriel Verne (/vɜːrn/; French: [ʒyl vɛʁn]; 8 February 1828 – 24 March 1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction.

Verne was born to bourgeois parents in the seaport of Nantes, where he was trained to follow in his father's footsteps as a lawyer, but quit the profession early in life to write for magazines and the stage. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages extraordinaires, a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).
