Louis Gabriel Montigny (3 December 1784 – 10 January 1846 ) was an 19th-century French playwright and writer.
Louis Gabriel was the son of Rémy Montigny, master perfumer and of Marie-Madeleine-Gabrielle Mignot, domiciled rue Saint-Honoré. He married Julie-Celestine Massiet 18 July 1825 in Montron, (Aisne).
An officer in the military, director of the Moniteur de l'armée, he became a journalist and a dramatist. His plays were presented on the most important parisians stages of the 19th century, including the Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin, the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique, and the Théâtre de la Gaîté.
He is buried at Montmartre Cemetery, 22nd division, with his wife who died 15 January 1879 in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, his daughter Marie-Louise-Delphine de Montigny (1826-1897), and his son in law, general Joseph-Augustin-Eugène Daguerre (1814-1879).
