'''Alfred Jeanroy''' (5 July 1859 – 13 March 1953) was a French linguist. 

Jeanroy was a leading scholar studying [troubadour](/source/troubadour) poetry, publishing over 600 works. He established an influential view of the second generation of troubadours divided into two camps: “idealists” (e.g. [Jaufre Rudel](/source/Jaufre_Rudel), [Ebles de Ventadorn](/source/Eble_II_of_Ventadorn)) and “realists” (e.g. [Marcabru](/source/Marcabru)).<ref>Amelia E. Van Vleck, ''The Lyric Texts'', p. 28, in ''A Handbook of the Troubadours'' (1995), F. R. P. Akehurst and Judith M. Davis editors.</ref>
