Lucien Arman (23 November 1811 – 7 October 1873) was a French shipbuilder, naval architect and politician.

He became a partner in the family shipyard producing merchant ships and warships for the French and Imperial Russian Navies.

Arman invented a method for composite construction using iron and wood for steam-powered ships and was awarded a great medal in the naval and military arts category at the Exposition Universelle of 1855.

The Emperor and Empress Eugénie attended the wedding of his son, Albert Arman, to Léontine Lippmann in the Tuileries Chapel.

After heavily investing in a new shipyard and steam engine factory near Le Havre,[1] the over-extended Arman went bankrupt in 1868 and resigned from all of his public offices the following year.
