François-Michel-Chrétien Deschamps (1683, near Troyes – 10 November 1747, Paris) was an 18th-century French playwright.
A cavalry lieutenant, later employed in finance, Deschamps wrote several tragedies, of which one, Caton d’Utique (1715), was successful; the others - Antiochus et Cléopâtre (1717), Artaxerxès (1735), Méduse (1739) - were not.
Deschamps also wrote Recherches sur le théâtre français (1735, 3 vol. in-8°).
