Philippe-Auguste de Palézieux (1871, in Mies – 25 November 1957, in Geneva) was a Swiss botanist.

In 1891, he started classes in mechanical engineering at the Eidgenössisches Polytechnikum Zürich, afterwards studying botany at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München as a pupil of Ludwig Radikofer. From 1900 to 1939, he was a privatgelehrter (private scholar) in Germany, and spent much of his time in Berlin-Dahlem. In 1939, he relocated to Geneva, where in 1943 he succeeded Constantin Andreas von Regel as curator of the "Herbarium Boissier".

From 1946 to 1949, he was president of the Société Botanique de Genève.
