Charles Émile Blanchard (6 March 1819–11 February 1900) was a French zoologist and entomologist. Blanchard was born in Paris. His father was an artist and naturalist and Émile began natural history very early in life. When he was 14 years old Jean Victoire Audouin (1797—1841) allowed him access to the laboratory of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle. In 1838 he became a technician or préparateur in this then as now famous institution.
