Claude Parisot (c. 1704, Etain – 3 March 1784, Etain) was a French organ builder. He came from a family of organ builders: his nephew Henri in turn built and repaired many instruments in Lower Normandy and Maine. He learned his art with Moucherel of Lorraine, then in 1727 with Louis-Alexandre and Jean-Baptiste Clicquot in Paris.

Beginning in 1735, Parisot built numerous organs in northern and western France:

  • 1736 Church of St Remy, Dieppe, restored and currently used by the Ecole Nationale de Musique. Numerous recordings available.
  • 1741 Premonstratensian abbey of Mondaye (near Bayeux)
  • 1747 Notre-Dame de Guibray, Falaise
  • Premonstratensian abbey of Sery-aux-Pres (Seine-Maritime)
  • Church of St George and Church of the Holy Sepulchre at Abbeville
  • Sees Cathedral
