Pierre Mainfray (Rouen, 1580 – 1630) was a 17th-century French poet and playwright. All that is known of him, writes Pierre Larousse, is that he was the precursor, almost ignored, of his illustrious compatriot Pierre Corneille: "All Mainfray's plays have the defects we remark in those of the time. Only Cyrus has some interest. Only two of them, Hercules and Cyrus were presented".

Only Cyrus has some interest. Only two of them, Hercules and Cyrus were presented". adds: "In 1616, Pierre Mainfray, from Rouen, had his first play entitled les Forces incomparables et Amours du grand Hercules printed followed by Cyrus triomphant, la Rodanienne and la Chasse royale. Nothing remarkable in these plays if not the division into four acts of the first and the last, and his Shakespearean ignorance of geography which makes him lay siege to Rhodes by land." (en)
