Eugène Flachat (16 April 1802 – 16 June 1873[1][2] ) was a French civil engineer.
Eugène Flachat and his half-brother Stéphane Mony built the railway line from Paris to Saint Germain(fr) between 1833 and 1835. They also built the Paris-Versailles Right Bank railway.[3] Eugène Flachat built the first railroad station in Paris. He is remembered today for redesigning the Gare Saint-Lazare railway station in Paris in 1851 and other railroad related projects. He died in Arcachon. A street in Paris is named for him. His name is one of the 72 names inscribed on the Eiffel Tower.
