Marie-Anne-Catherine Quinault (French pronunciation: [maʁi an katʁin kino]; 26 August 1695 – 1793) (known as Mademoiselle Quinault l'aînée, the elder) was a French singer and composer.
She made her debut at the Académie Royale de Musique in 1709 in Jean-Baptiste Lully's Bellérophon.
In 1714 she began singing at the Comédie-Française, where she remained until 1722[1] Quinault composed motets for the Royal Chapel at the Palace of Versailles.
This brought her into higher social spheres and earned her a pension on the King's privy purse.
From 1723 until 1793 she lived in an apartment in the Louvre, at the Pavilion de L'Infante.
