Paul Alexandre Alfred Leroy (1860 in Paris-1942) was a French painter noted for Orientalist works. He was a founding member of the Société des Peintres Orientalistes Français (Society for French Orientalist Painters) and designed the Society's first logo.
French by birth, Leroy spent his childhood in Odessa, where his father had a business. He lived in Odessa until age 17 years, which gave him interest in the East.
In Paris, he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts. He first exhibited in 1882 and was awarded a medal.
