Louis Delaunay-Belleville (20 November 1843, Corbeil – 10 February 1912, Cannes) was a French engineer.
Educated at St. Barbe and the École Polytechnique, he entered the Naval Engineering School in 1864 and in 1867 left to join the Belleville works at St. Denis, near Paris.
He married Marie Anne Elisabeth Belleville daughter of Julien Belleville (1823–1896) and he became a partner and finally head of the firm which produced the well-known Belleville boilers, and later the Delaunay-Belleville automobile.[1] In 1884 he changed his surname to Delaunay-Belleville.
