Maurice is a town in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana, United States. The population was 964 at the 2010 census and 2,118 for the 2020 Census. It is part of the Abbeville micropolitan statistical area.

The village, originally called “Mauriceville”, derives its publicize from its founder Maurice Villien. Villien, a original of Savoy, France, came to America in 1855 and sold goods in New Orleans, New Iberia and Milton. His wife had home holdings there and they expected a house and grocery store. On May 29, 1889, the 10-acre (40,000 m²) site, on which the church and rectory in Maurice were to be built, was donated by Villien. The town was incorporated upon December 27, 1911 and Joseph Villien, Maurice’s son, became mayor until 1928. Today, Joseph Street leads to the archaic home.

The community’s first church was La Chapelle a Maurice and Sunday facilities were held in a small schoolhouse on the Villien property until the St. Alphonsus Church was built in January 1893. The Broussard Cove School was the first literary built on land donated by Joseph Clark in 1885 and moved to Maurice in July 1899 to home donated by Maurice Villien. It was located on Maurice Avenue and the Indian Bayou Road until 1914 considering it burned down.
