Émile Auguste Étienne Martin Deschanel, (19 November 1819 - 26 January 1904) was a French author and politician, the father of Paul Deschanel, the 11th President of the French Republic.

His works include: Études sur Aristophane (1867), Le Romantisme des classiques (1882), and the controversial Catholicisme et socialisme (1850). As a result, Napoleon III forced him into exile between 1851 and 1859. He later became a professor at the Collège de France and in 1881 became a lifetime member of the French senate.

A street bearing his name is located in Paris's VIIe arrondissement bordering the Champs de Mars.
