Alexandre Lacauchie (Paris, 1814 – 1886) was a French engraver, lithographer, draftsman and painter. He participated in the Salons between 1833 and 1835, presenting a series of paintings, including portraits and landscapes, as well as pastels and drawings.

He is known to have published at least one lithographed album, the “Galerie des artistes dramatiques de Paris chez Marchant” in two volumes (Paris, 1840-1841), including 80 full-length portraits drawn. Other lithographed drawings appeared signed by him, including a portrait of Adelaide Ristori (by Godard, 1858).

He has often worked with the engraver Henri-Jules Faxardo. His full-length portraits of François-Séverin Marceau, François Paul de Brueys d’Aigalliers and Jean-Baptiste Kléber were engraved by Eugène Leguay for the third volume of Albert Maurin’s Galerie historique de la Révolution française (1787 to 1799). The National Museum of Warsaw preserves his portrait of Joseph Poniatowski engraved by Marc Antoine Claude Monnin.
