Claude Abadie (16 January 1920 – 29 March 2020) was a French jazz clarinetist and bandleader.

He was interested in New Orleans jazz and Chicago jazz from an early age, and formed his own ensemble in 1941 to play in a Dixieland-revival style; Boris Vian played in the group from 1943.

He founded a new ensemble in 1949, which included Jean-Claude Fohrenbach and Benny Vasseur, but quit music in 1952, not returning to performance until 1963.

In 1965, he formed a large ensemble to play contemporary jazz.
