Paul Déroulède (September 2, 1846 - January 30, 1914) was a French author and politician, and a leading figure of the French right-wing.
He was born in Paris, and first appeared as a poet in the Revue nationale, under the pseudonym of "Jean Rebel". In 1869 he produced, at the Théâtre Français, a one-act drama in verse entitled Juan Strenner. On the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, he enlisted as a private, but was wounded and taken prisoner at the Battle of Sedan. He was sent to Breslau (now Wroclaw), but managed to escape. He then served under Chanzy and Bourbaki, took part in the latter’s disastrous retreat to Switzerland, and fought against the Commune in Paris. After reaching lieutenant, he was forced by an accident to retire from the army.
