Émile de Saint-Amand Deschamps (; 20 February 1791 – 23 April 1871) was a
French poet. He was born at
Bourges. The son of a civil servant, he adopted his father’s career, but as early as 1812 he distinguished himself by an ode,
La Paix conquise, which won the praise of
Napoleon. In 1818 he collaborated with
Henri de Latouche in two verse comedies,
Selmours de Florian and
Le Tour de faveur.
