Auguste Jean-Marie Pavie (May 31, 1847 – June 7, 1925) is a French colonial civil servant, explorer and diplomat who is instrumental in establishing French control over Laos in the last two decades of the nineteenth century.

After a long career in Cambodia and Cochinchina, Pavie becomes the first French vice-consul in Luang Prabang in 1886, eventually becoming the first Governor-General and plenipotentiary minister of the newly formed French colony of Laos.
