Pierre Mallet (1836–1898) was a French artist known for painted designs on ceramic ware, who mainly worked in England.
Life Mallet was born in 1836 in at Jussey in Haute-Saône, France. He was trained in etching. He married and had two daughters, but was a widower by 1891. By 1873 he had moved to London, describing himself as a 'Painter on Porcelain' and working at Borgen and Co. in collaboration with Léonce Goutard.

In about 1885 he moved to Leeds to work on Burmantofts Pottery, then in 1887 he moved to Brighton (though his designs continued to be produced in Leeds) and exhibited an etching at the Royal Academy, the first of many. He died in 1898, at Boulogne-sur-Seine.
