Fortuné Hippolyte Auguste Castille (September 11, 1821 – February 26, 1891), French writer of fiction, whose nom de plume was Fortuné du Boisgobey, was born at Granville (Manche).
He served in the army pay department in Algeria from 1844 to 1848, and extended his travels to the East. He made his literary debut in the Petit journal with a story entitled Deux comédiens (1868). With Le Forcat colonel (1872) he became one of the most popular feuilleton writers.
His police stories, though not so convincing as those of Émile Gaboriau, with whom his name is generally associated, had a great circulation, and many of them have been translated into English.
