Camille Enlart (22 November 1862 – 14 February 1927) was a French archaeologist and art historian. His areas of special interest were the Middle Ages and photography.
Enlart initially learned painting at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, then studied Law at the École Nationale des Chartes in 1885–1889. In 1893, he was appointed as assistant librarian at the École des Beaux-Arts after a two-year trip to Italy. Between 1894 and 1899, he was deputy to Robert de Lasteyrie at the École Nationale des Chartes. He taught medieval archeology at the École Spéciale d'Architecture and the École du Louvre. In 1903, he became director of the Musée national des Monuments Français; he held this position until his death.[1]
