Armand Praviel (13 October 1875 – 15 January 1944) was a French journalist, writer and lawyer. Although he had a doctorate in law, he was primarily known for his multi-faceted and prolific literary output which included poetry, plays, novels, essays, biographies, and literary and theatrical criticism. He was born in L'Isle-Jourdain, but apart from his military service during World War I, spent his entire career in Toulouse where he was a member of the Académie des Jeux floraux and the editor-in-chief of L'Express du Midi for many years. In 1925 the Académie française awarded him the Prix Montyon for his novel L'histoire tragique de la Belle Violante. Praviel died in Perpignan at the age of 68.
