Louis-Ernest Dubois (1 September 1856 – 23 September 1929) was a Roman Catholic Cardinal and Archbishop of Paris. He played a leading role in the period of adjustment to the separation of Church and State in France.
He was born in Saint-Calais (Sarthe) to a family from the adjacent commune of St. Gervais. He was educated at the Seminary of Le Mans. He was ordained on 20 September 1879.
After his ordination he worked in the diocese of Le Mans from 1879 until 1898. He was editor of Semaine du fidèle in 1888. He served as Vicar general of the diocese of Le Mans from 1898 until 1901.
Pope Leo XIII appointed him Bishop of Verdun on 18 April 1901. Verdun was one of only two French cities where the bishop was not obliged to leave his palace in 1905.
He was promoted to the metropolitan see of Bourges in 1909. He spent until 1916 in Bourges until he was transferred to metropolitan see of Rouen on 13 March 1916.
He was created and proclaimed Cardinal-Priest of S. Maria in Aquiro (deaconry elevated pro hac vice to title) in the consistory of December 4, 1916.
He was transferred to become Archbishop of Paris on 13 December 1920. He took part in the conclave of 1922 that electe Pope Pius XI. Dubois played a conciliatory role in relations with French authorities. He established an ordinariate (under Msgr. Chaptal, a descendant of the Napoleonic Interior Minister)to co-ordinate, thereby increasing French clerical control of the work of foreign language Catholic chaplaincies in Paris). He remained as Archbishop of Paris until his death in 1929. He is buried in Notre-Dame de Paris.
