Marcel Sendrail born in Toulouse (31 August 1900 - 4 June 1976) was a French physician and writer.
Marcel Sendrail comes from a line of Languedoc farmers. His father became Director of the Toulouse Veterinary School. An intern in 1921, doctor of medicine in 1925, associate of the faculty of medicine in 1930. He taught general pathology and experimental medicine at the Faculty of Toulouse until 1971.

In parallel with his experimental research (more than six hundred publications), Marcel Sendrail reflected on medical practice as a humanist. In his personal work and in the theses he inspired, he was particularly interested in the history of medicine, and took a medical look at the works of recent writers (Rilke, Paul Valéry...). A popular lecturer with the Toulouse public, he was an early member of the city's academies and learned societies, particularly the Académie des Jeux Floraux, of which he was principal for thirty-three years and perpetual secretary for eighteen years.
Against a scientific and technical conception, Marcel Sendrail defended a humanistic approach to medicine, in which he saw an instrument of culture and a source of wisdom. Against standardization, he emphasized the principle of individualization in biology. He gave a central place to illness, through which individuality is expressed.
