Alexis Carrel (June 28, 1873 – November 5, 1944) was a French surgeon and biologist.
Carrel was honored in 1912 with a Nobel prize in medicine in recognition of his work on vascular suture and the transplantation of blood vessels and organs.
Carrel's eugenic ideas are alleged by some scholars to have had "superficial commonalities" with the thought of such early advocates of Islamism as Ali Shariati and Muslim Brotherhood propagandist Sayyed Qutb.

What fascinated Qutb about Carrel was, as Islamic Studies scholar Ibrahim M. Abu-Rabi wrote in his 1996 book "Intellectual Origins of Islamic Resurgence," first of all his view of humanity "which he relies on more than the Koran." Second, Qutb follows Carrel's method.

His associations found him a witness to the unveiling of Ford's new V-8 engine; discussing humanity with the father of modern surgery, Alexis Carrel; and in prewar France with the Lindbergh family.

He was removed from all his offices, and he and his wife were placed under guard in Paris as collaborators.
