Édouard Goubert (French pronunciation: [edwaʁ ɡubɛʁ]; 29 July 1894 – 14 August 1979) was mayor and first chief minister of Pondicherry between 1 July 1963 and 11 September 1964. Initially a strongly pro-French leader, he later shifted towards the pro-merger Indian National Congress, which ultimately became the death knell for the sovereignty of France's comptoirs (trading posts) in India. He and Lambert Saravane founded the French India Socialist Party in July 1947.
Goubert was popularly known as Pappa Goubert.
