Henri Parent (12 April 1819 in Valenciennes – 1895 in Paris) was a French architect.
His brother Clement was the son in law of Joseph-Antoine Froelicher, Henri Parent restored and transformed several hôtels particuliers in the Faubourg Saint-Germain for high aristocratic families.
He worked particularly on the Hôtel de Boisgelin, 47 rue de Varenne (VIIe arrondissement), transformed for the Dukes of Doudeauville and of Bisaccia : putting up panelling originally in the château de Bercy, and creating a chapel, a winter garden, a dining room, stables for 25 horses, two rooms for 8 carriages, two cellars and a grand staircase ("escalier d'honneur") panelled with polychromatic marble plaques and inspired by the queen's staircase at the Palace of Versailles.
He also created three very luxurious Parisian residences: He designed Émile-Justin Menier's tomb,[1] one of the most remarkable in the cimetière du Père-Lachaise (1887).
With his brother Clément Parent, he restored the châteaux of Ancy-le-Franc for the Clermont-Tonnerre, Esclimont and Bonnetable families.
