Joseph Auguste Émile Vaudremer (6 February 1829, Paris – 7 February 1914, Antibes) was a French architect. He won the prix de Rome and designed several public buildings in France, particularly in Paris.
Entering the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in 1847, he apprenticed in the practice of Guillaume Abel Blouet. Winning the lauréat du premier grand of the Prix de Rome in 1854, he resided at the French Academy in Rome at the Villa Medici from 20 January 1855 to 31 December 1858.
He spent his career as a public architect with several prestigious posts, including Architect of the City of Paris, inspector-general of buildings, member of the Conseil supérieur for prisons and of the Conseil for collèges and lycées, diocesan architect for several départements, and finally teaching at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts, from which he also ran his own practice. Notable among his pupils were Jacques Hermant, and the Americans Louis Sullivan, Theophilus Parsons Chandler, Jr. and Arthur Rotch.
He designed several typical 19th century buildings in Paris : lycées (including the Lycée Buffon), churches (including Notre-Dame-d'Auteuil, and Saint-Pierre-de-Montrouge) and the Prison de la Santé.
