Auguste Dupont, full name Pierre-Auguste Dupont, (9 February 1827 - 17 December 1890) was a Belgian pianist and composer.[1]

A laureate of the Royal Conservatory of Liège, where he was a student of Jules Jalheau, he travelled for a time as a musician in Germany, England and the Netherlands. While performing in Berlin, he was introduced to Giacomo Meyerbeer who gave him work for a time and who often mentions him in his diary.[2] In 1850, he became a professor at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. He composed several major pieces for concerts and pieces of chamber music.[3] He was also the editor of the series École de piano du Conservatoire de Bruxelles, forty booklets of classical masterpieces.[4] He became a teacher of chamber music in 1886.[5]

His brother was the violinist and composer Joseph Dupont.
