Denis Fernand Py, better known as Fernand Py, (1887–1949) was a "French sculptor" who "engraved religious medals with a modernist look" during the Art Deco period.

An artist of Christian sacred art, he is best known for his ivory carvings that adorn liturgical objects, his wooden statues, his nativity scenes, and his highly stylized medals with religious themes.
