Isabelle Bogelot (11 May 1838, Paris - 14 June 1923, Boulogne-Billancourt) was a French philanthropist and feminist.

Born Isabelle Amélie Cottiaux, Bogelot was the daughter of Antoine André Cottiaux, a Parisian cotton trader, and Marie Anne Thérèse Cottiaux, from Cambrai. Orphaned at a young age (her father died when she was 2 and her mother when she was 4), she was adopted by the family of Maria Deraismes and her sister Anna Féresse-Deraismes.

On May 7, 1864, she married Gustave Bogelot, a lawyer for the Court of Appeal of Paris. The couple had at least two children.

On January 1, 1889, she received the Ordre des Palmes académiques for the creation of temporary shelters. On May 2, 1894 she became a chevalier of the Legion of Honour.
