André Paul Guillaume Gide (; 22 November 1869 – 19 February 1951) was a French author and winner of the
Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947 "for his comprehensive and artistically significant writings, in which human problems and conditions have been presented with a fearless love of truth and keen psychological insight". Gide's career ranged from its beginnings in the
symbolist movement, to the advent of
anticolonialism between the two World Wars.
