Marchand Ennery (French pronunciation: [maʁʃɑ̃ ɛnʁi]; (1792 – 21 August 1852) was a French rabbi who served as Chief Rabbi of France from 1846 to 1852. Ennery studied Talmud under Baruch Guggenheim and rabbincs at the rabbinical school of Herz Scheuer, in Mainz.

In 1819, Ennery was appointed director of the new Jewish school of Nancy. He published a Hebrew-French lexicon, Dictionnaire hébreu-français. In 1829 he was appointed chief rabbi of Paris, and he served in this position until his election as Chief Rabbi of France in 1846. He served in the position of Chief Rabbi until his death in 1862. Ennery was succeeded in his role by Salomon Ulmann.

Ennery was inducted as a Chevalier into the Legion of Honor in 1850.
