Paul Félix Vincensini (30 April 1896, in Bastia – 9 August 1978, in La Ciotat)^{[1] [2]} was a French mathematician.

In 1927, he wrote his dissertation Sur trois types de congruences rectilignes at the University of Toulouse.^{[3] [4] [5]} In 1945, working as a Professor at the University of Besançon, he was awarded the Charles Dupin Prize of the French Academy of Sciences, for his work in higher geometry.^[6] In 1949, he got the Prix de la Pensée Française. In the same year, he went to Marseille University.He retired in 1967, but still accepted presidency of a symposium of the Florence Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematical Sciences in 1978.^[2]
