Felix Octave Pavy (November 27, 1879 – May 13, 1962), was a physician and Democratic politician from Opelousas, Louisiana.
Pavy was the uncle by marriage of Dr. Carl Weiss, the presumed assassin of Huey Pierce Long, Jr. His brother, Judge Benjamin Pavy of the Louisiana 16th Judicial District Court, was the father-in-law of Dr. Weiss. Dr. Pavy's father-in-law was the attorney Gilbert L. Dupré, who from 1913 to 1932 was a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives. Dr. Pavy succeeded his father-in-law in the House and served a single term from 1932 to 1936.
Pavy was born in Grand Coteau in St. Landry Parish. He attended the former St. Charles College in Grand Coteau, Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, and Tulane University School of Medicine, from which he received his M.D. degree in 1904. He practiced medicine first for many years in rural Leonville in St. Landry Parish; in 1947, he moved to Opelousas, where he remained until his death in the spring of 1962 of a two-month illness.
