Louis André Gaspard Michaud[1] (7 December 1795 in Sornac – 4 April 1880 in Lyons)[1] was a French malacologist.
After his recovery in 1815 he became fully interested in natural sciences and began a conchological collection.
Together with Valéry Louis Victor Potiez (1806–1870) he published in 1835 the Galerie des mollusques, a catalogue of the molluscs in the collection of the museum of Douai.
In 1839 he became a Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, mainly because of his scientific contributions rather than because of his military service.
He left the army in 1844, and started work as a professor and director of the Michaud Institute in Lyons.
