Maurice Dubourg (8 August 1878 – 31 January 1954) was a Franc-Comtois cleric of the Roman Catholic Church, diocesan canon priest, then bishop of Marseille from 1928 to 1936, and finally archbishop of Besançon from 1936 to 1954. During the Second World War, he recognized the legitimacy and values of the regime established by the French head of state, Marshal Philippe Pétain, but showed concern for the fate of Spanish refugees and workers subject to the Service du travail obligatoire (STO). After the war, he was behind the creation of the Notre-Dame de la Libération votive monument on Besançon's colline des Bois, and supported innovations in sacred art within the diocese of Besançon.
