Maurice Pic (23 March 1866, in Marrigny near Digoin – 29 December 1957, in Les Guerreaux) was a French entomologist who specialised in Coleoptera.
He contributed to Mary-Louis Fauconnet's Catalogue raisonné des coléoptères de Saône-et-Loire (Le Creusot, Martet, 1887) and wrote many short papers, many in L'Échange, Revue Linnéenne describing world beetles.
His most important work was for Sigmund Schenkling's still very relevant Coleopterorum Catalogus. Pic's collection is in the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris.
