Paul Childéric Xavier Lizandier (2 December 1884 – December 1937) was a French runner who competed at the 1908 Summer Olympics. He won a team bronze medal in the 3 mile race, together with Louis de Fleurac and Joseph Dreher, and failed to reach the final of the 5 mile event.[1]
In 1913, during World War I Lizandier deserted the French army and went to Romania.[3] He later received a death sentence for insubordination, and was executed in December 1937.[4]
