Dominique Paturel (April 3, 1931 - February 28, 2022) was a French actor and voice actor.

He had a storied career on stage, and he played several leading roles on television, mostly swashbuckler ones such as D'Artagnan in the eponymous 1969 miniseries adaptation of The Three Musketeers. He also played the Spy Fiction hero Francis Coplan in 1964's Francis Coplan Takes Risks.

He was a well known voice actor as well, frequently dubbing Terence Hill, Michael Caine (by far his most prolific French voice starting with Harry Palmer in The Ipcress File, though oddly never his Nolan film roles), Robert Wagner (such as in Hart to Hart), Dean Jones' Walt Disney Productions roles (The Love Bug, Snowball Express, The Ugly Dachshund, That Darn Cat! and Blackbeard's Ghost) and Larry Hagman (most famously J.R. Ewing in Dallas). He also dubbed Hannibal Smith (George Peppard) in The A-Team, Colonel Steve Austin (Lee Majors) in The Six Million Dollar Man, David Vincent (Roy Thinnes) in The Invaders, Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman) in Blazing Saddles and some roles of Robert Vaughn and Frank Sinatra.

Animation-wise, he's best remembered as Robin Hood in the 1973 Disney animated film and Stinky Pete in Toy Story 2. He also voiced some video game characters, such as Admiral Koris in Mass Effect and Archmage Avernus in Dragon Age: Origins.
