Henry Bauchet was a French ingénier (1879–1970) and inventor. He was born on 22 April 1879 in Frevent, Pas-de-Calais and died on 19 December 1970 in Lyon. He designed and manufactured the first prototype of modern automobile, called "La Sirène" from 1899 to 1907.

He graduated from School of Arts and Crafts in Châlons-en-Champagne and was one of the first holders of a driving licence in France.

After a life dedicated to the automobile, in 1963, in Valencia, he was knocked down by a car, which left him with a slight limp. A street in Rethel is named after him.
