Sébastien Gérardin (9 March 1751 in Mirecourt – 17 July 1816 in Paris) was a French naturalist.

After training for the priesthood, Sébastien Gérardin became canon of Poussay in 1790. He was passionately interested in natural history, which he taught at l’École centrale d'Épinal. There he assembled a cabinet of curiosities as well as the botanical garden. He was employed by the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris from 1803.
