Félix Lebrun (pronounced [feliks lə.bʁœ̃] ⓘ; born 12 September 2006) is a French table tennis player and 2025 French national champion. He was a gold medalist at the 2023 European Games and reached the top ten list of the ITTF (International Table Tennis Federation) world ranking for the first time in October 2023. As of 12 November 2024, he was ranked number 4 in the world in the ITTF world rankings, making him the top-ranked French and European player. Stylistically, he plays with a penholder grip (with a reverse penhold backhand), which is a rarity among top players today. He won two bronze medals at the 2024 Summer Olympics, one in individual and one in team, thus becoming at 17 years the youngest ever medalist in those events, and also the youngest male medalist in Olympic table tennis. In October 2024, he became the first French player to win a WTT Champions tournament in Montpellier. By the end of 2024, he also became world's top ranked doubles player along with his elder brother Alexis Lebrun. In March 2025, he became the French national table tennis champion by defeating Alexis in the final.
