Louis Auguste Sabatier (French: [sabatje]; 22 October 1839 – 12 April 1901), French Protestant theologian, was born at Vallon-Pont-d'Arc, Ardèche and died in Strasbourg.
He was educated at the Protestant theological faculty of Montauban as well as at the universities of Tübingen and Heidelberg.After holding the pastorate at Aubenas in Ardèche from 1864 to 1868, he was appointed professor of reformed dogmatics at the Protestant theological faculty of Strasbourg.
His markedly French sympathies during the War of 1870 led to his expulsion from Strassburg in 1872.
After five years' effort he succeeded in establishing a Protestant Faculty of Theology in Paris (today: Faculté de théologie protestante de Paris) along with Eugène Ménégoz, and became professor and then dean.
In 1886, he became a teacher in the newly founded religious science department of the École des Hautes Etudes at the Sorbonne.His brother, Paul, was a noted theological historian.
He is the father of two daughters, Marguerite Chevalley, translator, and Lucie Chevalley.
Claude Chevalley, mathematician, is his grandson.
