Henri Auguste Barbier (29 April 1805 – 13 February 1882) was a French dramatist and poet.
Barbier was born in Paris, France. He was inspired by the July Revolution and poured forth a series of eager, vigorous poems, denouncing the evils of the time. They are spoken of collectively as the Iambes (1831), though the designation is not strictly applicable to all. As the name suggests, they are modelled on the verse of André Chénier. They include La Curée, La Popularité, L'Idole, Paris, Dante, Quatre-vingt-treize and Varsovie. The rest of Barbier's poems are forgotten, and when, in 1869, he received the long delayed honour of admission to the Académie française, Montalembert expressed the general sentiment with "Barbier? mais il est mort!," but actually he died at Nice in 1882.
Barbier collaborated with Léon de Wailly in the libretto of Berlioz' opera Benvenuto Cellini, and his works include two series of poems on the political and social troubles of Italy and England, printed in later editions of Iambes et poèmes.

The murderer writes graffiti near crime scenes based on these lines of the poem:
"Les mères mêmes, en rentrant pas à pas,
Laissent tomber les enfants de leurs bras,
Et les enfants, aux yeux des folles mères,
Vont se briser la tête sur les pierres."
