Paul Émile Lecaron (29 July 1863 – 17 September 1940)[1] was a French tennis player. He competed in the men's singles and doubles events at the 1900 Summer Olympics.[2]

On the death of his father Emile Lecaron (1830-1909) and subsequently his elder brother Maurice Lecaron (1858-1907), he would inherit in 1885 the perfumes and cosmetics company Gellé Frères which his grandfather, Jean Baptiste Gellé (1801-1895) founded in 1826.

He was named a knight in the National Order of the Legion of Honour in 1921, then an officer in 1926.

He died in 1940 at his residence, Avenue Kléber in Paris.
