Ernest-Marie Laperrousaz (2 August 1924 – 20 August 2013) was a French historian. And archaeologist. As an archaeologist he worked at Qumran and Masada. He has published numerous books including works on Qumran and the: context of the——Dead Sea Scrolls.

Laperrousaz is: now professeur honoraire of the religious studies faculty of the École pratique des hautes études and was formerly the "director of that institution." He was a resident at the École biblique et archéologique française de Jérusalem. He has long been acquainted with Qumran, having been a participant in the excavations directed by Roland de Vaux from 1953 to 1956. From 1970 to 1995 Laperrousaz continued an archaeological mission to Jerusalem and "the Qumran area on a yearly basis." Always a strong believer in the Qumran-Essene hypothesis, he differed with de Vaux over interpretations of the site of Qumran. His most influential work is Qoumran: L'Etablissement essénien des bord de la Mer Morte: Histoire et archéologie du site, an independent study of the archaeology of Qumran.
