Ferdinand Florent Fels (14 August 1891, Paris – 26 January 1977, Cap-d'Ail) was a French journalist, publisher and author prominent in discussing art in France. He often used the pseudonym Felsenberg.

Fels launched the art magazine Action: Cahiers individualistes de philosophie et d’art in 1919. Here he expressed his individualist anarchist philosophy. In 1920 he organised a "counter-manifestation" against Dadadism. However, with the development of surrealism Fels' idealistic approach proved unpopular and the magazine closed in 1922.[1]
