Auguste-Victor Lenepveu (July 21, 1852 - 19??) was an Algerian artist, journalist, and antisemite. Born in Oran, French Algeria, by 1891 he was living in Colombes, in the Seine-et-Oise region of France and working as a journalist. Lenepveu is only remembered as the creator of the antisemitic propaganda collection known as the Musée des horrors. Most sources on this topic suggest that Lenepveu was a pseudonym, but interviews in Parisian newspapers, including Le Libre Parole show otherwise. In one interview, published on October 15, 1899, he describes himself as an 'Algerian and antisemite'. The Musée des horrors was forced to cease publication in 1900 by French authorities, and a second collection of cartoons entitles Musée des patriots ceased publication in 1901. In 1901 Lenepveu is identified as the president of the Comité républicain nationaliste des Batignolles (the Republican Nationalist Committee of Batignolles). His last appearance in the historical record is in April 1902 as a member of the Republican Nationalist Committee.
