Étienne-François Gebauer (7 March 1776 – 1823) was a French composer and flautist.

He began his musical studies under the direction of his elder brother Michel-Joseph Gebauer and then received a formation to flute from Antoine Hugot.

He entered the orchestra of the Opera-Comique in 1801 as second flute, then became first flute in 1813, but retired in 1822 for health reasons.

He died in Paris a few months later.

As a composer, he wrote many works, especially for his instrument, the flute.
