Hypolite Ferry (fl. 1850) was a French scholar, cartographer, and member of the Société de géographie de Paris. He produced in 1850 Description de la nouvelle Californie, the first detailed description of Gold Rush-era California to be published in France. The map he included in this work would be republished in Benedetto Marzolla's atlas the next year. He also produced in 1868 a translation of the hieroglyphs of the Oblelisk of Luxor. Nothing is known of his life, education or any other works.
