Paul Agricole Génin (14 February 1832, in Avignon – 22 December 1903, in Paris) was a French flautist and composer for flute. He was a student of Louis Dorus and became first flute at the Théâtre-Italien (Comédie-Italienne) Paris.[1]

He is sometime confused with Pierre Génin another flautist who emigrated to England.[2]
