Adolphe de Pallisseaux was a French rugby union player and sprinter in the 1890s.

Sporting career

In 1888, Pallissaux was a member of the Racing Club de France that participated in the first edition of the French Athletics Championships [fr], becoming French champion of the 120 meters hurdles, with a time of 18.6 seconds, and also finished third in the 100m; the following year, he won again in the national championship, this time in the 110 meters hurdles, with a time of 19 seconds.

He then helped the RCF win the 1892 French Rugby Union Championship, beating Stade Français 4–3 in the final. In the following edition, where he was often positioned in a three-quarter position, RCF lost the final to Stade Français (3–7). He was part of the first team until 1896, including in a match against the Oxford University team at Levallois-Perret in December 1894. In 1896, he wore the USFSA jersey in a match against Scotland.

Then came the time of responsibilities; in the mid-1890s, de Pallisseauxhe became vice-president of the Association de la Presse Cycliste, representative of the Association Vélocipédique d'Amateurs on the council of the USFSA, and director of the Revue des Sports Athlétiques.
