Pierre Grelot (Paris, 6 February 1917 - Orléans, 22 June 2009) was a French Catholic priest, biblical scholar, theologian and Honorary Professor at the Institut Catholique de Paris. He had an expert knowledge of Aramaic and was a specialist on the Pauline epistles.

Grelot studied at St. Louis School, in Montargis. He was ordained a Catholic priest in 1941. He became a teacher at the Seminary of Orléans and afterwards at the Institut Catholique de Paris, from 1961 to 1983. He became an honorary teacher of the Institute in 1985.^{[citation needed]}

He presented his thesis in theology, Èxègese Littérale, Éxègese Spirituelle ("Literal Exegesis, Spiritual Exegesis"), in 1949. He had an important role in the renewal of the Biblical studies in France with his books, Introduction aux Livres Saints ("Introduction to the Holy Books", 1954) and Pages Bibliques ("Biblical Pages", 1954), which were reissued several times and had translations in several different languages.^{[citation needed]}

Grelot was a counselor of the Bishops' Conference of France and a member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, from 1972 to 1983.^{[citation needed]}

He participated in the TV series Corpus Christi (1997), exhibited at the Arte channel, about the Gospels.^{[citation needed]}

He was quoted by Pope Benedict XVI in his book Jesus of Nazareth (2007).^[1]

He had controversies with other biblical scholars who opposed a late dating of the New Testament writings; he wrote his book L'origine des Évangiles (1985) in opposition to the view held by Jean Carmignac.^[2]
