Charles-Étienne Pesselier (9 July 1712, Paris – 24 april 1763, Paris aged 50) was an 18th-century French playwright and librettist. After studying at collège des Quatre-Nations, Pesselier applied for three years to the study of law.
He then obtained employment in Ferme générale and showed such skill that he was given responsibility to open a school of finances in his home. While fulfilling his duties Pesselier devoted his leisure to literature and gave Comédie-Italienne L'École du temps, which was a marked success.
The following year, this play was followed by Ésope au Parnasse, also in one act and verse, which was received with applause.
