Louise Anselme d'Ataïde (1815–1853), commonly known by her pseudonym Louise Julien, was a French poet and revolutionary. Born into poverty, she participated in the French Revolution of 1848 and fled France after the rise of the Second French Empire. Her life may have been a source of inspiration for the character of Cosette in Victor Hugo's Les Misérables.
