Augustin de Saint-Aubin sometimes styled Auguste de Saint-Aubin (3 January 1736 – 9 November 1807), belongs to an important dynasty of French designers and engravers.

[3] Trained by his brother, he later studied with Étienne Fessard, Nicolas-Henry Tardieu[1] and Laurent Cars.

[4] He was approved by the Académie Royale in 1771, but did not graduate, as he failed to submit one of the required reception pieces.

[1] He took many commissions for commercial purposes like bookplates, frontispieces, invitations, tradesmen's cards, and programs,[5] but also illustrated books such as the Decameron by Boccaccio.

He later worked on etching the collection of antique gems owned by the Duc d'Orléans.
