Michel Christian Alain Aupetit (born 23 March 1949) is a French prelate of the Catholic Church. He has been Archbishop of Paris since his installation on 6 January 2018. He was previously the Bishop of Nanterre beginning in April 2014 and before that an Auxiliary Bishop of Paris. Before becoming a priest, he was a doctor for more than twenty years.
Born in Versailles (Yvelines) on 23 March 1949, Michel Aupetit grew up in Chaville et Viroflay in the western part of the Île de France. He pursued a career in medicine, with studies that included time at Hôpital Bichat and Hôpital Necker. He practiced general medicine in Colombes from 1979 to 1990. He taught medical ethics from 1997 to 2006 at the Centre hospitalier universitaire Henri-Mondor in Créteil. He earned a doctor of medicine degree (Buchat, 1978) and a university diploma in medical ethics from the faculty of medicine of Creteil (1994), as well as a theology degree.
He then studied for the priesthood at the seminary of Paris and was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Paris on 24 June 1995 at the age of 44. He served as vicar first of the Church of Saint-Louis-en-l'Île from 1995 to 1998, and then of Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis from 1998 to 2001. He was also chaplain of high schools and colleges of the Marais from 1995 to 2001. From 2001 to 2006, he was assigned to the parish of Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Arche-d'Alliance, and deacon in the Pasteur-Vaugirard deanery from 2004 to 2006.
From 2006 to 2013 he was vicar general of the Archdiocese of Paris.
