Alain Dorval (b. July 6, 1946) is a French actor.
After his studies in the Paris Conservatory of Dramatic Art, he starts a career in theater, before discovering fortuitously dubbing.
He is now very active in dubbing, being the iconic French voice of Sylvester Stallone since the first Rocky, and one of the voices of Nick Nolte and Jeff Bridges.
In animation, in addition of being the regular voice of Peg-Leg Pete since 1995, he voiced Le Gros and Le Teigneux in the French Once Upon a Time... educational series, Weaver in Antz and Tiger in the Fievel films, among other voice roles.
He is also present in voiceover for advertisements, documentaries, or radio and TV programs.

Notes
- In addition to being his French voice, Alain Dorval was born on the exact same day as Sylvester Stallone.
- At the end of the 1980s, he raised bad criticisms of the dubbing conditions which tended to deteriorate. As a result, several studios put the actor on a black list, which led Michel Vigné and Richard Darbois dubbing Sylvester Stallone for a time, in particular in the films produced by Warner Bros. Alain Dorval fully came back as the voice of the American actor during the 2000s.
- When reminded about Robert Foxworth he dubbed as Ratchet in Transformers, he answered: "Transformers, the thing with the beasties, right? Ah yes, yes but since we can't see their faces..."[1], probably to point out that it is a little bit different to dub from the usual human actors.
