Paul-Jacques Curie (29 October 1855 – 19 February 1941) was a French physicist and professor of mineralogy at the University of Montpellier. Along with his younger brother, Pierre Curie, he studied pyroelectricity in the 1880s, leading to their discovery of piezoelectricity and some of the mechanisms involved. The piezoelectric electrometer co-developed by Jacques and Pierre Curie was an important instrument in the work on radioactivity by Marie Curie and Pierre Curie.
