Étienne-Auguste Dossion (9 August 1770 – 3 October 1832) was a French playwright and poet.
The son of an extra dancer at the Paris Opera, Dossion was "one of these writers-actors who contributed to the formation of the song repertoire, and one of the most fruitful." He was successively a notary clerk, a prompter and a Harlequin at the Théâtre du Vaudeville, a master of studies at Collège Sainte-Barbe, a bridges inspector, an employee at the Interior Ministry under Corbière, dismissed through the influence of Godiche because he always threw him tobacco puffs and he smelled of eau de vie, a launderer at Vaugirard, before finishing a day laborer and dying at the Hôtel-Dieu.
