Eugène Edine Pottier (1816 - 1887) was a French revolutionary socialist, poet, and transport worker.
Pottier was elected a member of the Paris municipal council - the Paris Commune, in March 1871. During the Commune he wrote the poem L'Internationale which, once set to music by Pierre Degeyter, became the International Workingmen's Association anthem.
