Alfred Auvard ; (Pierre-Victor Alfred Auvard) 8 August 1855 – 1940) was a French obstetrician and gynecologist born in the department of Corrèze.

He studied medicine in Paris, and in 1879 became interne des hôpitaux.[1] In 1882 he furthered his studies in Germany (Leipzig, Dresden, Berlin), and in 1884 received his doctorate with a thesis titled De la pince à os et du cranioclaste. Later he maintained a private OB/GYN clinic in Paris.

During the 1880s, he introduced the "Auvard couveuse", an inexpensive incubator that became widely popular in the latter part of the 19th century.[2][3] Other eponyms in the field of obstetrics that bear his name are: "Auvard maneuver" - a procedure for extraction of the placenta; "Auvard's vaginal speculum", and "Auvard's basiotribe" - an instrument that is a combination of a craniotomy forceps and a cranioclast.
