Albert Peyriguère (Trébons, 28 September 1883 – Casablanca, 26 April 1959) was a Catholic priest, hermit and ethnologist from Southern France. Following the example of Charles de Foucauld, he lived as a hermit in the Atlas mountains in Morocco. While the care for the local Berber population earned him their admiration, he became an expert on Berber languages and their culture.
