André du Laurens (December 9, 1558 – August 6, 1609) was a French physician.
Du Laurens was born in Tarascon[1] and was rector of the medical school at Montpellier.[2] He was physician to King Henry IV.
His 1594 book comprising four "discourses"—first written in French, not Latin—was an early attempt at scientific communication.[3] It was translated into English by Richard Surphlet in 1599.[2][4]
His Historia anatomica underwent many editions.
One of his brothers, Honoré du Laurens (1564-1612), was archbishop of Embrun.
