Lambert-Thiboust (25 October 1827 – 10 July 1867) was a 19th-century French playwright.

Lambert-Thiboust began his career as a comedian. He won a prize for tragedy at the Paris Conservatoire in 1848 and briefly pursued acting at the Théâtre de l'Odéon. His first play, L'Hôtel Lambert, a one-act comedy, was presented at the Odeon the same year. In 1850, his three-act play L'Homme au petit manteau bleu, gained real success.

During the next 20 years, alone and with such collaborators as Alfred Delacour, Théodore Barrière, Clairville, Adrien Decourcelle, Henri de Kock,Paul Siraudin, Ernest Blum, Eugène Grangé and Frédéric Charles de Courcy, he wrote a hundred plays, comedies, vaudevilles and dramas, many of which were successful.
