Madeleine Vernet (3 September 1878 – 5 October 1949) was a French teacher, writer, libertarian and pacifist.
She attacked abuses in the state system of foster homes, where children were often used for their labor.
In 1906 she founded l'Avenir social, an orphanage for workers' children, which she ran despite government opposition until 1922, when she resigned after the board was taken over by Communists.
She was a committed pacifist during World War I (1914–18), and continued to be involved in pacifist organizations after the war.
