Étienne Léro (1910–1939) was a French poet from region of Martinique, "the first person of African descent to publicly identify himself as a surrealist".[1] In 1932 he helped found a literary journal Légitime Défense with Jules Monnerot and René Méril.[2] Other people involved in Légitime Défense include Pierre Yoyotte, Simone Yoyotte, Thelus Léro, Maurice Sabas-Quitman, Michel Pilotin and Auguste Thesse.[3]
Badly wounded early in World War II, Léro died in a French military hospital.[1]
