Alain Blanchard (died 1419) was a French soldier who fought in the Hundred Years' War.
He participated in the defence of Rouen when it was besieged by English troops under Henry V of England from July 1418 to January 1419.
[citation needed] During the late 18th and 19th centuries, as a result of worsening Anglo-French relations due to the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars and colonial disputes, several works about Blanchard were written in France.
Blanchard was also the subject of a musical drama by Louis Boïeldieu and poems by Auguste Thorel de Saint-Martin and Émile Coquatrix and of a story written by P. Dumesnil in 1847.
