Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges (French pronunciation: [ʒyl ɑ̃ʁi vɛʁnwa də sɛ̃ ʒɔʁʒ]; 7 November 1799 – 23 December 1875) was a French playwright, who was born and died in Paris.

[1] Saint-Georges' first work, Saint-Louis ou les deux dîners (1823), a comédie en vaudeville written in collaboration with Alexandre Tardif, was followed by a series of operas and ballets.

In all Saint-Georges wrote over seventy stage pieces in collaboration with Eugène Scribe and other authors.

Saint-Georges was notably old-fashioned in his approach, typically depending on highly improbable coincidences and twists with little attempt at convincing characterisation.

His tastes were reflected in his personal affectation of 18th-century costume and manners in his everyday life.
