Amédée Artus, né Amedée, Urbain, Louis, Henry, Joseph Artus (28 October 1815 – 26 March 1892) was a 19th-century French conductor and composer of French classical music, author of more than eight hundred incidental music pieces.[1]

Amédée Arthur, born in Perpignan in 1815, was the son of Joseph Pierre Artus (1791-1864) and Marie Angélique Salvo (1793-1864), both also from Perpignan.[1] His father played the viola and he was the older brother of Alexandre Artus, also a conductor and composer.[2]
