Eugène Revillout (4 May 1843 – 11 January 1913) was a French Egyptologist.

Born in Besançon, Revillout worked for the Louvre in Paris, as both a curator for the collection and professor of Egyptian at its school.

[1] He dealt particularly with the youngest branches of the Egyptian language and literature, Demotic and Coptic.

Revillout was among the first that dealt with the legal history of ancient Egypt.
