Auguste Boissonneau (26 July 1802, Saumur – 7 July 1883, Paris) was a French ornithologist and ocularist. In the latter field he was a pioneer of ocular prosthesis.
As an ornithologist, he was the taxonomic authority of numerous species native to tropical and subtropical South America. The hummingbird genus "Boissonneaua" commemorates his name, as does the species "Pseudocolaptes boissonneautii" (streaked tuftedcheek), a bird circumscribed by Frédéric de Lafresnaye in 1840.
