Morizot was a family of French bow makers, notable members include Louis Morizot (Père) (b. 1874 - d. 1957) & his five sons who trained with him and then succeeded him renaming the firm MORIZOT Frères.

Among the six sons of Louis Père, the well-known Mirecourt bow maker, René Morizot (the youngest), is the only one to have dedicated his life to violin making. René Morizot served his apprenticeship in Mirecourt with Emile Audinot.
