Julien Foucaud (2 July 1847, in Saint-Clément – 26 April 1904, in Rochefort) was a French botanist.
From 1867 to 1885, he was an assistant teacher and teacher in several schools in the department of Charente-Maritime. In February 1885, he was appointed director of the naval botanical garden in Rochefort.[1]
In February 1878, he became a member of the Société Botanique de France.[1] Taxa with the specific epithet of foucaudii are named in his honor.[2] In collaboration with Georges Rouy, he described numerous plant species.[3]
