Maurice Hauriou (1856-1929) was a French legal scholar and sociologist whose writings shaped French administrative law in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He taught public law at the Toulouse School of Law from 1888, later serving as its dean from 1906 to 1926, and wrote textbooks including Precis de droit administratif et de droit public general (1892) and Precis de droit constitutionnel (1923) that gave French administrative law a new dogmatic basis. He is counted among the founders of modern French public law alongside Leon Duguit and Adhemar Esmein.
