Achille Edmond Audran (12 April 1840 – 17 August 1901) was a French composer best known for several internationally successful comic operas, including Les noces d'Olivette (1879), La mascotte (1880), Gillette de Narbonne (1882), La cigale et la fourmi (1886), Miss Helyett (1890), and La poupée (1896). After Audran's initial success in Paris, his works also became a regular feature in the West End of London, in adaptations that Audran supervised.
Most of his works are now neglected, but La mascotte has been revived occasionally and has been recorded for the gramophone.
