Claude-André Paquelin (1836 – 1 May 1905) was a French physician who invented a thermocautery device.

Paquelin did not accept that diseases could be caused by microbes.

Paquelin was born in Avignon, France on 30 December 1836.

In 1873, Paquelin took over editorship of the medical journal La Tribune Médicale which had been founded by Dr Marchal de Calvi.

Paquelin died unexpectedly of a cerebral hemorrhage on May 1, 1905. He was survived by his wife and their daughter. His daughter, Suzanne (1879-1953) translated Goethe's Faust Parts I and II from the original German into French.

A street in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, Rue du Docteur Paquelin, was named in his honor in 1910. A street in Paquelin's city of birth, Avignon, is also named after him.
