Ernest Henri Besnier (French: [benje]; 21 April 1831 – 15 May 1909, Paris) was a French dermatologist and medical director of the Hôpital Saint-Louis in Paris.

1863 he became médecin des hôpitaux. In 1873 he as dermatologist at the Hôpital Saint Louis,

credited with originating the term biopsy for tissue samples. In 1889 he proved an early

description of skin lesions associated with sarcoidosis, introducing the name "lupus pernio".   With Pierre Adolphe Adrien

Doyon (1827–1907), he founded the medical journal Annales

de dermatologie et de syphiligraphie. Besnier attempted to balance the

differences between the French and Viennese approaches to dermatological

medicine, and in 1881 with Doyon, translated Moritz Kaposi's famous book on skin diseases (Pathologie und

Therapie der Hautkrankheiten in Vorlesungen für praktische Ärzte und Studirende)

from German into French (Leçons sur les maladies de la peau). With Louis-Anne-Jean Brocq and Lucien Jacquet, he published a four volume encyclopedia of

dermatology, titled "La pratique dermatologique" (1900–04).

The eponymous Besnier's prurigo is

named for a skin disorder that often follows infantile atopic dermatitis.
