Le Peletier (French pronunciation: [lə pɛltje]) is a station on Line 7 of the Paris Métro. Located in the 9th arrondissement, it was belatedly opened on June 6, 1911, seven months after the inauguration of Line 7. It is named after the nearby Rue le Peletier, which was named after Louis Peletier, who was the last but one Prévôt des marchands de Paris (provost of the merchants of Paris) between 1784 and 1789. This feudal position was abolished in the French Revolution.

The Opéra National de Paris was located in the Salle Le Peletier, on Rue le Peletier, between 1821 and 1873, when it was destroyed by fire. It was the first theatre to use gas lighting to illuminate the stage. The station is located a short walk from Notre-Dame-de-Lorette station on Line 12, but no free transfer is permitted.
