Jean Baptiste Lucien Buquet (4 March 1807, Deinze –14 December 1889, Paris) was a French entomologist and insect dealer mainly interested in Coleoptera. He described many new genera and species. Buquet's business dealt in exotic Coleoptera, especially Buprestidae, Lucanidae, Scarabaeidae and Cerambycidae. He also sold Lepidoptera, especially Morpho and Agrias. The insects came mainly from the French colonial empires. He was a member of the Société entomologique de France.
The beetle family Lucanidae was named after him. His collection was purchased by the Natural History Museum in London.
