Emmanuel Villanis (December 12, 1858 - August 28, 1914) was a French sculptor. He was born in Lille, France, and died in Paris.
He studied at the Academia des Beaux-Art in Turin. One of his teachers was Odeoardo Tabacchi. From 1885, Villanis lived in Paris and became one of the most productive sculptors towards the end of the 19th century. His female bronze busts, cast by the Society de Bronze de Paris, were exported all over the world from Paris, particularly to the United States. Today his sculptures can be found regularly in auctions.
