Jean Marcel Adolphe Bruller (26 February 1902 – 10 June 1991) was a French writer and illustrator who co-founded the publishing company Les Éditions de Minuit with Pierre de Lescure. Born to a Hungarian-Jewish father, he joined the Resistance during the World War II occupation of northern France and his texts were published using the pseudonym Vercors (though he used this name for works published before the 1944 Battle of Vercors). Several of his novels have fantasy or science fiction themes. The 1952 novel Les Animaux dénaturés (translated into English variously as You Shall Know Them, Borderline, and The Murder of the Missing Link) was made into the movie Skullduggery (1970) featuring Burt Reynolds and Susan Clark, and examines the question of what it means to be human.
