**Pierre Guarin** (1678 – 29 December 1729) was a French [Hebraist](/source/Hebraist). He was born at Le Tronquay, [Province of Normandy](/source/Province_of_Normandy), in 1678. He entered the order of the [Benedictines of St. Maur](/source/Congregation_of_Saint_Maur) on 21 October 1696, became subsequently professor of Greek and Hebrew, and died librarian of the [abbey of St. Germain des Pros](/source/Abbey_of_Saint-Germain-des-Pr%C3%A9s) on 29 December 1729.

He had a lively literary controversy with canon [François Masclef](/source/Fran%C3%A7ois_Masclef), and wrote *Grammatica Hebraica et Chal-deice,* etc. (Paris, 1724 8, 2 vols. 4to) *: — Lexicon Hebra-icum et Chaldaeobiblicum* (Par. 1746, 2 vols. 4to). Guapin only completed this dictionary to *Mere* inclusively; the following letters were the work of other Benedictines.
