Frédéric Macler (26 May 1869 – 12 July 1938) was a French linguist, orientalist and translator.

A native of Mandeure,[1] Macler learned Armenian, Assyrian, and Hebrew from Auguste Carrière. In 1911, he succeeded Antoine Meillet, as he took a chair in Armenian at the Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales, which he held until 1937. In 1919, he co-founded the Society for Armenian Studies. In 1920, he founded the Revue des Études Arméniennes, which he directed until 1933, with Antoine Meillet.[2]

His works include a French translation of the Arabic Vision of Daniel.[3]
