Joseph Philippe Ferrier (1811-1886) was a French officer who was seconded to the Persian army but removed from his post through Russian intrigues in 1843. In 1845 he left Baghdad to pursue his fortune in Lahore where several of his countrymen were serving under Ranjit Singh. He was one of the earliest Europeans to give an account of the parts of Afghanistan and central Asia through which he passed, largely around Herat from which he undertook several expeditions including to Gour and Kandahar, and describes the various peoples including the Uzbeks and their local politics.
