Aurélien-Marie Lugné (27 December 1869 – 19 June 1940), known by his stage and pen name Lugné-Poe, was a French actor, theatre director, and scenic designer.
He founded the landmark Paris theatre company, the Théâtre de l'Œuvre, which produced experimental work by French Symbolist writers and painters at the end of the nineteenth century.
Like his contemporary, theatre pioneer André Antoine, he gave the French premieres of works by the leading Scandinavian playwrights Henrik Ibsen, August Strindberg, and Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson.
