Julien Pélage Auguste Brizeux (12 September 1803 – 3 May 1858) was a French poet. He was said to belong to a family of Irish origin, but long settled in Brittany. He was educated for the law, but in 1827 he produced at the Théâtre Français a one-act verse comedy, Racine, in collaboration with Philippe Busoni.
His most important works are, first, Marie (1832, 1836, 1840), then, Les Bretons (1845, 1846). He also wrote in his native Cornouaille dialect of the Breton language, most notably Telenn-Arvor and Furnez Breiz.
