Abbé Dominique Peyramale (1811 – 1877) was a Catholic priest in the town of Lourdes in France during the apparitions of Our Lady of Lourdes to the peasant girl Bernadette Soubirous in 1858.
Peyramale, under instructions from his bishop, Monsignor Laurence, never visited the Grotto during any of the apparitions, and therefore never saw at first hand the effects which they produced in Bernadette and the onlookers. Nevertheless, he was deeply involved in the events, interviewing Bernadette on a number of occasions. Initially convinced he was dealing with a childish prank or hoax, Peyramale was eventually convinced that Bernadette's experiences were genuine.
A street in the town of Lourdes was named after him.
