Pierre-Marie Termier (* 3. Juli 1859 in Lyon, Rhône, † 23. Oktober 1930 in Grenoble) war ein französischer Geologe.
A professor at the school of mines at Saint-Etienne, in 1894 he left for Paris, where he would teach for the remainder of his career. He was elected as a member of the French Academy of Sciences in 1909, in the mineralogy section. Two years later he became the director of the French geological cartography service. In 1930 he became vice-president of the Academy.
During his career he performed geological studies of the Alps, as well as Corsica and North Africa. He was a proponent of the nappe concept and of tectonics as a mountain-building force.
The wrinkle ridge Dorsum Termier on the Moon is named after him.
In 1898, Termier analyzed basaltic lava from the Atlantic seafloor 500 miles north of the Azores and was surprised to find that it was vitreous rather than crystalline, implying volcanic activity above sea level. Since lava disintegrates after 15,000 years Termier concluded that this had happened relatively recently, perhaps coinciding with the destruction of Atlantis.
In 1912, Termier gave a lecture at the Institut Océanographique contending that Atlantis had been located in the Atlantic Ocean. Termier also addressed the Smithsonian Institute which published his text in 1915.
In January 1917, Charles Schuchert of Yale University published a rebuttal in Geographical Review.
