Pauline Lafont (née Falb) (7 May 1879 - 22 February 1955) was a French philanthropist. She ran the family business alongside her husband Adolphe Lafont, and was actively involved in social and cultural causes. She donated the land and rose garden surrounding her villa, which she had designed herself, to the city of Villeurbanne. These became the Jardin des Tout-petits-Adolphe-Lafont and the Square de la Roseraie.
