Louis-Martin Lebeuf (26 May 1792 – 10 November 1854) was a French banker, faience manufacturer and right-leaning politician. He supported protectionist policies, and supported the coup d'etat that launched the Second French Empire under Napoleon III.
Louis-Martin Lebeuf was born on 26 May 1792 in L'Aigle, Orne. His parents were Martin Lebeuf, a notary in L'Aigle, and Félicité Hilliere. On 12 November 1922 in Paris he married Claudine Athénaïs Marie Pollissard (1804–87), daughter of Adrien Edmé Pollissard, a Paris merchant, and Alexandrine Marie Denise Pajot. Their children were Adrien Louis Lebeuf (1824–76), faience manufacturer, Alfred Louis Lebeuf (d. 1859), diplomat. and Alexandrine Louise Marie Lebeuf (1830–65).
Lebeuf's family had been notaries for over 200 years. Although he was meant to follow this career, he preferred commerce. He entered a banking house as a clerk, and by the age of 19 was one of the heads of the house. He was elected a judge of the Commercial Court and a member of the Paris Chamber of Commerce. Lebeuf was a member of the Bank of France Discount Board from 1830 to 1836. In 1835 he was appointed a regent of the Bank of France. He was a regent of the Bank of France from 28 January 1836 until his death. He was also head of the banking house Lebeuf et Cie.
Lebeuf was director of the Creil-Montereau faience works for the Société Lebeuf et Millet from 1840 until his death. The trademark was "LM et Cie". Lebeuf purchased the château and estate of Montgermont at Pringy, Seine-et-Marne, and was ennobled. The Association pour la défense du Travail national was formed to oppose the lowering of tariffs. The council included Antoine Odier (President), Auguste Mimerel (Vice-President), Joseph Périer (Treasurer) and Louis-Martin Lebeuf (Secretary). Members included Henri Barbet, Léon Talabot and Eugène Schneider.
