Maxime Boucheron, real name René Maximilien (9 March 1846 – 10 November 1896), was a French playwright and chansonnier.
An employee at the Préfecture of Paris, he became an editor at Le Figaro where he was responsible for the theatre critics. His comic operas, vaudevilles, operettas and other works, written from the 1870s to the 1890s, were performed on the most significant Parisian stages of his time, including Théâtre des Folies-Dramatiques, Théâtre de la Renaissance and Théâtre des Variétés.
He is buried at the Père Lachaise Cemetery (47th division).
