thumb|Barthélemy Hauréau (13 May 1877)

Jean-Barthélemy Hauréau (; 9 November 1812 – 29 April 1896) was a French historian, journalist and administrator.

Education and appointments

Born in Paris, he was educated at the Louis-le-Grand and Bourbon colleges in his native city, and won high honours at his public examination. After graduating he became a journalist, and soon was a contributor to several democratic papers: La Tribune, Le National, Le Droit, and La Revue du Nord; at Le National, he was praised by Théophile Gautier as the "tribune" of romanticism. At the age of twenty he published a series of apologetic studies on the Montagnards — in later years, regretting his youthful enthusiasm, he attempted to destroy the studies.
