Debiopharm Group (Debiopharm) is a family-owned biopharmaceutical group of companies headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland. It was founded in 1979 by Rolland-Yves Mauvernay.

The group works through its subsidiaries:

Debiopharm International SA, which in-licenses product candidates or technologies, develops them, and then licenses them to third parties for commercialization;

Debiopharm Research and Manufacturing SA, which provides contract manufacturing and contract research services to Debiopharm;

Debiopharm Investment SA, which manages the group's money and invests in real estate and in other companies; and

Debiopharm Diagnostics SA, which invests in diagnostics companies.

As of 2010 two drugs had reached the market through its efforts: oxaliplatin for the treatment of cancer, and depot formulations of triptorelin, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist that is approved to treat advanced prostate cancer.
