In the paper under review the author introduces a new kind of groupoid -- a pseudo-étale groupoid -- which provides new examples of noncommutative Poisson algebras. The deformation quantization of these algebras is investigated. It is shown that the noncommutative Poisson algebra introduced by the pseudo-étale groupoid can be formally deformation quantized. The starting point of the presentation is the notion of Poisson structure on an associative algebra [\textit{J. Block} and \textit{E. Getzler}, Quantization of foliations, in S. Catto et al., Differential geometric methods in theoretical physics. Proceedings of the 20th international conference, June 3--7, 1991, New York City, NY, USA. Vol. 1--2. Singapore: World Scientific. 471--487 (1992; Zbl 0812.58028); \textit{P. Xu}, Am. J. Math. 116, 101--125 (1994; Zbl 0797.58012)]. The smooth groupoid algebra of a Lie groupoid, which consists of smooth functions with convolution product, is an important example of a noncommutative differentiable manifold. The groupoid algebra is defined by a Haar system [\textit{A. L. T. Paterson}, Groupoids, inverse semigroups, and their operator algebras, Progress in Mathematics 170, Boston, MA: Birkhäuser (1999; Zbl 0913.22001)] and use is made of Crainic's and Moerdijk's definition of a smooth groupoid algebra [\textit{M. Crainic} and \textit{I. Moerdijk}, J. Reine Angew. Math. 521, 25--46 (2000; Zbl 0954.22002)]. It is shown that a pseudo-regular Poisson groupoid with a given invariant connection naturally defines a noncommutative Poisson structure. Following \textit{M. Kontsevich} [Lett. Math. Phys. 66, 157--216 (2003; Zbl 1058.53065)], an ``equivariant formality theorem'' with groupoid action is discussed. Next the formal deformation quantization of a noncommutative Poisson algebra à la Fedosov is defined [\textit{B. Fedosov}, Deformation quantization and index theory, Mathematical Topics 9, Berlin: Akademie Verlag (1996; Zbl 0867.58061)]. A \(\star\) -product is introduced on the groupoid algebra and its associativity is proved. In order to make similar constructions for deformation quantization in the case of the pseudo-Poisson groupoid with that already made for the pseudo-symplectic groupoid, a ``quasi-connection'' is introduced. The construction of \textit{A. S. Cattaneo, G. Felder} and \textit{L. Tomassini} [Duke Math. J. 115, 329--352 (2002; Zbl 1037.53063)] is used in the present situation, applying Kontsevich's local formality theorem. The main result is that for a pseudo-Poisson groupoid, there is always a formal deformation quantization of the noncommutative Poisson algebra. At the end of the paper the existence of closed deformation quantization of a pseudo-symplectic (Poisson) groupoid with an invariant measure is defined and proved. Also Rieffel's strict deformation quantization [\textit{M. A. Rieffel}, Deformation quantization for actions of \(\mathbb{R}^d\), Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 506 (1993; Zbl 0798.46053)] of noncommutative Poisson algebras is discussed.
