Jean Antoine René Édouard Corbière (1 April 1793, Brest – 27 September 1875, Morlaix) was a French sailor, shipowner, journalist and writer, considered to be the father of the French maritime novel.

At the time of Édouard's birth his father was an infantry captain in the French Navy - his mother, Jeanne-Renée Dubois, had been born at Morlaix in 1768.
He was born at Madron on 3 June 1763, and in 1785 went from Penzance to Roscoff, in Brittany, in a fishing-boat, to proceed to Morlaix, where he stayed for some time, and acquired a knowledge of French.
In the following November, he captured off Morlaix the French corvette Epreuve, carrying 14 guns and 136 men.
On March 23, 1781 they set sail from Morlaix and for many weeks ransomed or sunk numerous enemy vessels.
In 1521 he served at sea as admiral of a squadron, and was chief captain of the vanguard under the Earl of Surrey when the English forces landed at Morlaix on 1 July and campaigned in Picardy from 30 August to 14 October.
He was knighted on 2 July 1522 after losing an eye at the taking of Morlaix in Brittany, and he witnessed the Battle of Pavia.
