Gilbert Marie Michel Méranville (born 4 February 1936) is the Roman Catholic archbishop emeritus of the Archdiocese of Fort-de-France in Martinique. Archbishop Méranville was ordained a priest in 1959, and on 14 November 2003, he succeeded Archbishop Maurice Rigobert Marie-Sainte as the Metropolitan Archbishop of Fort-de-France. His resignation for age reasons was accepted by Pope Francis on Saturday, 7 March 2015. That day, Pope named Father David Macaire, O.P., prior of the Dominican convent of La Sainte-Baume, in Toulon, France, as Archbishop-elect of Fort-de-France. He will be consecrated and installed as archbishop at a date in the near future.{{Cite web |url=http://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/bollettino/pubblico/2015/03/07/0169/00378.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=2015-03-07 |archive-date=2015-04-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402141747/http://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/bollettino/pubblico/2015/03/07/0169/00378.html |url-status=dead }}{{cite web|url=http://www.microsofttranslator.com/BV.aspx?ref=IE8Activity&a=http%3A%2F%2Fpress.vatican.va%2Fcontent%2Fsalastampa%2Fen%2Fbollettino%2Fpubblico%2F2015%2F03%2F07%2F0169%2F00378.html|title = Web Translator}}
