{{Short description|French lexicographer (1765–1824)}}

'''Pierre-Claude-Victor Boiste''' ([[1765]]-[[ – 24 April]] [[1824]]) was a [[France|French]] [[Lexicology|lexicographer]] born in [[Paris]]. He is most famous as the editor of the ''[[Dictionnaire universel de la langue française]]'', first published in [[1800]].

Originally trained at the Dammartin-Juilly Royal Academy at Goële (now [[Dammartin-en-Goële]], [[Seine et Marne]]), as a young man he studied law and became a practicing lawyer. However, he quit legal work to pursue publishing, ultimately founding a moderately prestigious press. In [[1800]], his health failing him, he retired to a homehouse in the country at [[Ivry-sur-Seine]] to devote himself to linguistic, scientific and literary pursuits, producing five works, of which his dictionary is the most famous.
