Marie Firmin Bocourt

Marie Firmin Bocourt (19 April 1819 – 1904) was a French zoologist and artist.

In zoology, Bocourt collaborated with Auguste Duméril. In 1861, he was sent to Thailand (then called Siam), where he explored the fauna and brought back an important collection of specimens. In 1870 he published together with Duméril the Études sur les reptiles et les batraciens ("Studies on reptiles and amphibians"). In 1883, he published Études sur les poissons ("Studies on fishes") with Léon Vaillant.

As an artist, he specialized in engravings, doing portraits of contemporary people as well as zoological illustrations.
