François Georges Levrault (March 21, 1722 - April 22, 1798) was a French protestant printer and bookseller active in Strasbourg in the late 18th century. Levrault was bore in Ogéville, France. His parents died at a young age, but he was taken in by a local priest who raised and educated him. In 1742, he entered the printing business of Jean Robert Joseph Christmann (1704 - 1761). He married Christmann's daughter, Maria Anna Elénora Christman (1737 - 1788), in 1761. In 1769, he was made a partner in the firm, and in 1772, after his brother-in-law François Robert Adrien Christmann (1728 - 1771) died, he became the full owner. In 1786, he acquired the Abreschwiller Paper Mill. By this time, his operation was the largest and most important printing shop in Eastern France.
