Eugène-Jacques Gervais (c. 1852–c. 1940) was a French architect active during the Belle Époque period. Born in Bordeaux as the son of merchant François Gervais and Clémence-Catherine Descazeille, he married Brigitte-Georgette Moulinié in 1876. The couple had three children, including Daniel Emile Gervais (1880-1979) who followed his father into architectural practice. Based in Bordeaux, he was known for his eclectic architectural style that combined international influences with innovative construction techniques. His most significant surviving work is Our Lady of Grace Church in Charlton, London, built in the rare Neo-Romanesque style for the Sisters of the Assumption.
