Xavier Dor (30 January 1929 – 4 April 2020) was a French embryologist. He was well known for his activism against abortions. He was born in Marseille, France.

Dor was charged with eleven different crimes throughout his life, most of which coming after the Neiertz Law passed in 1993. It made obstructing abortion a crime. Dor took part in the March for Life in Paris on 22 January 2017. The movement did not achieve its ultimate goal, which was to overturn the legalization of abortion.

Dor died of COVID-19 on 4 April 2020 in Paris at the age of 91.
