Jeanne-Hippolyte Devismes (4 janvier 1770, Lyon[1] — 12 janvier 1836, Caudebec-en-Caux[2]) (née Jeanne-Hippolyte Moyroud) was a French composer. She studied the piano with Daniel Steibelt and married the director of the Académie Royale de Musique (the Paris Opéra), Anne-Pierre-Jacques Devismes du Valgay. Her only known works are a song, "La Dame Jacinthe", and an opera, Praxitėle, which was first staged at the Paris Opéra on 24 July 1800. The work was a success and ran for 16 performances. The score has not survived complete.
