Édouard Jules Henri Pailleron (7 September 1834 – 19 April 1899) was a French poet and dramatist best known for his play Le Monde où l'on s'ennuie.

Following his marriage, he became co-director of the Revue des Deux Mondes, a monument of the Romantic literature era founded by his father-in-law.

The play, a satirical comedy in three acts, ridiculed contemporary upper class society and was filled with transparent allusions to well-known people.

[11] A statue bust of Edouard Pailleron, sculpted in 1906 by Russian-born artist Leopold Bernard Bernstamm, is located in the Parc Monceau in Paris.

In contrast, in the same park, the cottage of his friend Charles Forest, Senator of Savoie, whose daughter Marguerite married his son Edouard, no longer exists.
