(¤ 2.5.1768, † 10.11.1837) Baron Jean-Louis Marc Alibert, French dermatologist, active in Paris. Alibert is considered the founder of French dermatology. In 1792, he began the study of medicine in Paris. Pupil of Pierre Joseph Desault and Marie Francois Xavier Bichat. Doctorate in 1799 under Pinel. From 1801 he worked at the Hôpital St. Louis in Paris. Alibert coined the term "dermatology."

His attempt at a classificatory "nosologie naturelle" of skin diseases is significant. This achievement was independent of the English dermatologist Robert Willan (1757-1812), whose work was not known in France at the time.

In 1818 he became personal physician to Louis XVIII, and in 1821 professor of therapy at the Ecole de Médicine in Paris.

Alibert's royal duties interrupted his work at the Hôpital St. Louis in Paris. During his absence, the clinic was directed by Laurent Théodore Biett (1781-1849). In 1828 he was raised to the peerage of a baron. The importance of Alibert's works lie in the emphasis, the skin as one of the most important organs of the body. Furthermore, Alibert emphasized that when evaluating a skin disease, its anatomy and physiology, as well as topography and pathology, must be taken into account. Alibert, along with Ernest Pierre Antoine Bazin, is considered the first describer of mycosis fungoides.

His successor at L'Hôpital Saint Louis in Paris was Laurent Théodore Biett.
