Émiland Marie Gauthey (3 December 1732 in Chalon-sur-Saône – 14 July 1806 in Paris) was a French mathematician, civil engineer and architect. As an engineer for the États de Bourgogne (English: States of Burgundy), he was the creator of a great deal of the region's civil infrastructure, such as the Canal du Centre between Digoin and Chalon-sur-Saône (1784 – 1793), bridges including those at Navilly (1782 – 1790) and Gueugnon (1784 – 1787), and buildings such as the Eglise Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul ("Church of St Peter and St Paul") at Givry (Saône-et-Loire) (1772 – 1791) and the theatre at Chalon-sur-Saône.
