{{Short description|French poet, novelist, and journalist (1860–1919)}} thumb|Henri Beauclair, 1914 '''Henri Eugène Amédée Beauclair''' (December 21, 1860 at Lisieux – May 11, 1919 in Paris) was a French poet, novelist, and journalist. He was the chief editor of the daily newspaper ''Le Petit Journal'' from 1906 to 1914. He worked for a number of publications, including ''Lutèce'', ''Le Chat noir'', ''Le Procope, journal parlé'' (1893–1898), and ''Le Sagittaire'', a monthly revue of art and literature (1900–1901).
He had a taste and an unquestionable talent for satire and pastiche. He collaborated with poet Gabriel Vicaire, with whom he wrote the famous ''Déliquescences of Adoré Floupette'' (1885), a parody of the Decadent movement in poetry which caused several months of vigorous debate within Parisian literary circles.
