Charles-Georges Le Roy or Leroy (22 July 1723, Paris – 11 November 1789, Paris) was a French man of letters during the Age of Enlightenment and the author of one of the first books on human behavior.
Le Roy was a lieutenant of the royal hunt and a friend of the encyclopedistsDiderot, d'Alembert and d'Holbach, regularly attending d'Holbach's salon.
Le Roy's publications began as texts on the behaviour and sensitivity of animals, published under the pseudonym of 'the physician of Nuremberg.' These appeared in the Encyclopédie méthodique in 1774.
