Abbé Aloïsius Édouard Camille Gaultier (1746? – 1818) was a priest and French educational reformer.[1][2]

In 1792 he left France during the worst of the Revolution, passing via Holland to England for a period.[3]

He was a pioneer in getting children to learn through amusing them and was made a member of the commission for the reorganization of public instruction. He wrote a large number of books, such as Géographie de l'abbé Gaultier, that became popular as instructional books in Nineteenth Century France.
