Elise Gravel (born 1977[1]) is a Canadian writer from Montreal, Quebec.

Gravel's original books[2] and graphic novels[3] focus on wacky and often gross content.[4] In 2012, she won a Governor General's Award for Children's Illustration in French[5] for her book La clé à molette.[6]

Gravel has written more than thirty books, and her work has been translated into over twelve languages.[7][8] She studied graphic design, before becoming an illustrator. Gravel publishes in both English and in French.[1]

She is the daughter of writer François Gravel and Murielle Grégoire.[9] As of 2024, she is married with two daughters.[1]

In 2022, the Writers' Trust of Canada awarded Gravel the Vicky Metcalf Award for Literature for Young People in honour of her body of work.[10]

In February 2024, the Jewish Public Library of Montreal moved her books to their closed stacks, following Instagram posts that the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs described as antisemitic.[11][12] A few days later, the library restored the books.[13][14]
