Pierre Leyris (16 July 1907 – 4 January 2001) was a French translator.
The writers who benefited from his talent were, among others, Shakespeare in the complete edition of the Club français du livre [fr], Melville, Jean Rhys, Yeats, Dickens, Stevenson, Hawthorne and De Quincey. He was also an incomparable translator of English-speaking poets, from Milton to T.S. Eliot. His four-volume translation of the works of William Blake, published by Aubier & Flammarion, remains the most complete in French and earned him the 1974 Prix Valery Larbaud..
