Gustave Foëx (Gustave Louis Émile Foëx, born in Marseille in 1844-1906) was a French ampelographer and a colleague of Pierre Viala.

Gustave Foex who was Director of the National School of Agriculture of Montpellier (French: École nationale d’agriculture de Montpellier, now known as Supagro) from 1881 to 1897 was a professor of viticulture here from 1870 to 1896 and he created the school vineyard in 1876 to test the American vine-stock’s resistance to phylloxera. At the end of the 19th century, Montpellier was recognized to be THE European centre for studying vines, attracting both eminent researchers and viticulture specialists to the school.

The standard author abbreviation Foëx is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[1]
