Henri Milne-Edwards (October 23, 1800 - July 29, 1885) was a French zoologist. At first he turned his attention to medicine, in which he graduated as an MD at Paris in 1823. His passion for natural history soon prevailed, and he gave himself up to the study of the lower forms of animal life. He became a student of Georges Cuvier and befriended Jean Victor Audouin. He became professor of hygiene and natural history in 1832 at the Collège Central des Arts et Manufactures.
