Jean Gaston Darboux (August 14, 1842, Nîmes – February 23, 1917, Paris) was a French mathematician. He made several important contributions to geometry and mathematical analysis (see Linear PDEs for example). He was a biographer of Henri Poincaré.

He received his Ph.D. from the École Normale Supérieure in 1866. In 1884, he was elected to the Académie des Sciences. In 1900, he was appointed the Academy's permanent secretary.
