Ulysse Chevalier (born February 24, 1841 in Rambouillet , † October 27, 1923 in Romans-sur-Isère ) was a French clergyman and medievalist , author of important bibliographical works on the Middle Ages.
Chevalier studied at the University of Lyon , where he heard, among other things, church history from Léopold Delisle . He was a professor of church history at the Catholic University of Lyon and a Catholic priest (Abbé, later canon).
His main work is the Répertoire des sources historiques du moyen âge , which appeared in two parts. The bio-bibliography , published 1877 to 1888 (second edition 1905), contains information on all historical persons who lived between the years 1 and 1500 and who were mentioned in printed books with precise bibliographical references. The topo-bibliography , published from 1894 to 1903, contains all place names that were mentioned in books on the Middle Ages, and additional information on the first part.

Étude critique sur l'authenticité de la Santa Casa ) and he also published on the Turin Shroud , which according to him is no older than from the 14th century is. His source analysis on the Turin Shroud was attacked in 2006 by Emmanuel Poulle as scientifically inadequate.
