Guillaume Imbert de Boudeaux (1744 – 19 May 1803) was a French man of letters. Born in Limoges, Imbert was forced by his family to enter the Benedictine Order.
After constant protest, he left the order as soon as he could, and left his monastery. He then gave vent to his taste for politics and literary criticism, publishing periodicals that led to his imprisonment in the Bastille on three occasions. Fearing further imprisonment, Imbert emigrated to Neuwied, in Rhenish Prussia, where he collaborated in the publication of Francois Metra's secret literary correspondence.He returned to France in 1790, where he ended his days in Paris.
