Louis Auguste Moreau, (1835-1919), was a French sculptor best known for his bronze-cast figurines.

His allegorical Art Nouveau works often depicted women, children, cherubs and historical figures adorned with floral motifs and ornaments, and were influential to other artists working at the time.

Born in Dijon, France in 1855 to a celebrated family of sculptors, including his father, Auguste Moreau, he went on to regularly exhibit his work at the Paris Salon from 1861 on. The artist died in 1919 in France.
