Occupation	Physician and vegetarianism activist

Ernest Bonnejoy (1833 – 1896) was a French physician and vegetarianism activist.

Bonnejoy aimed to rationalize vegetarianism.[1] He favoured health over moral arguments. He argued meat was harmful for health and that vegetarianism could reverse the degeneration of the French population.[1][2] Historians have described Bonnejoy as the most influential French vegetarian in the 1880s and 1890s.[1][2][3]

His book Vegetarianism and the Rational Vegetarian Regime (1891) was influenced by the discoveries of Louis Pasteur and the then new germ theory of disease.[4] Bonnejoy promoted "muscular vegetarianism" to boost the immune system and improve public health.[4]

Bonnejoy was a member of the Sociéte Végétarienne de France (Vegetarian Society of France). He contributed to the Society's journal, La Reforme Alimentaire.[2]
