François-Adrien Boieldieu (December 16, 1775 in Rouen – October 8, 1834 in Varennes-Jarcy, Essonne) was a French composer, mainly of operas.

The most typical work of the genre was Cherubini's Médée (1797). Opéra-comique, traditionally performed at the Salle Favart, was also staged at the Théâtre de Monsieur from 1789. In 1791, the company set up home in a new theatre, the Théâtre Feydeau, previously reserved for the troupe of the opera buffa.
