Jean-Baptiste Auguste Imbert (3 March 1791, in Paris – 1840, in Brussels) was a 19th-century French playwright, bookseller, publisher, historian, chansonnier and journalist.
He first worked in various jurisdictions before being named secretary in November 1816 of the Joint Committee established near the Prussian army in France.
After the departure of the Allies, he became a bookseller in Paris and also published under the pseudonyms "De Saint-Eugène", "Rossignol", "Passe-Partout" or simply "Auguste".
On 4 January 1827, he was sentenced to a 595 francs fine and costs by the Criminal Court of the Seine department for defamation and incitement to hatred and contempt to King's government for his work Biographie des imprimeurs et des libraires.
All the same, he had trouble with the law for his book Mon rêve, ou le gouvernement des animaux (1828).
