Louis Charles Trabut (July 12, 1853 – April 25, 1929) was a French botanist and physician who was a native of Chambéry, department of Savoie. He is remembered for his work involving the flora of Algeria and Tunisia.

  • Flore de l'Algérie (Flora of Algeria) (1888–90).
  • L'Algérie, le sol et les habitants, flore, faune, geologie, anthropologie, ressources agricoles et économiques (Algeria, the land and its people, Flora, fauna, geology, anthropology, agricultural resources and economics) (1898).
  • Flore analytique et synoptique de l'Algérie et de la Tunisie (Flora analytic and synoptic of Algeria and Tunisia) (1905).
