Achille Zavatta (6 May 1915 – 16 November 1993) was a French clown, artist and circus operator.

He started performing in his family's circus show at the age of three, forming with his brothers Michel and Rolph, the Zavatta Trio.

He was the interval act at the 1962 Eurovision Song Contest in Luxemburg.

To this day the Zavatta Circus tours France and surrounding countries, these performances include live tiger acts, which means the circus cannot tour Britain under the Animal Welfare Act.
