Félicien Champsaur (1858–1934) was a French novelist and journalist.

Champsaur was born at Turriers, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. His first novel was the ''roman à clef'' ''Dinah Samuel'' (1882), said to present portraits of poet Arthur Rimbaud and actress Sarah Bernhardt. He went on to publish many novels, collections of articles, and other works, including ''Miss America'' (1885), ''Entrée de clowns'' (1886), ''Parisiennes'' (1887), ''Les Bohémiens'' (1887), ''Lulu'' (1888), ''L'Amant des danseuses'' (1888), ''La Gomme'' (1889), and ''Poupée Japonaise'' (1912), ''Nora, la guenon devenue femme'' (1929), a parody loosely based on the career of American dancer Josephine Baker.
