Gérard Marie Robert Toulouse (4 September 1939 – 7 August 2023) was a French theoretical physicist.

Gérard Marie Robert Toulouse was born in Vattetot-sur-Mer, Seine-Maritime on 4 September 1939.

Toulouse was co-founder and Secretary-General of the La Ferthé Foundation, hosted by the Fondation de France. The La Ferthé Foundation is a member of the French Centre for Foundations (since its creation in 2003), and is active in the cultural, scientific, economic and social fields by providing support to encourage study and creation.^[1] Among other actions, the foundation awards a prize 'Knowledge and Courage', the first winners of which were Florence Hartmann and Philippe Videlier (1998), and the most recent winners Sarah Oppenheim (2012), Nicole Otto (2013) and Lila Lamrani (2015).
