Jean-Baptiste Vivien de Châteaubrun (1686, Angoulême - Feb 16, 1775, Angoulême) was a Frenchplaywright and a member of the Académie française. He spent 40 years of his life polishing two plays, but his maid mistook them for wrapping paper, thus losing his life's work. Today, his work Les Troyennes (1734) survives.
