Jean Lucien Adolphe Jullien (1 June 1845 – 30 August 1932) known as Adolphe Jullien was a French journalist, author, and musicologist. He was born into a family of letters. His grandfather Bernard Jullien (1752–1826), was a prominent professor, while his father Marcel Bernard Jullien (1798–1881), was a distinguished teacher and linguist and a major contributor to the Dictionary of Émile Littré. Jullien published numerous books and articles on a wide variety of topics, primarily music, and was actively involved in the controversy over the role and influence of Wagner's music in late nineteenth century France.
