St. Joseph's church, interior, designed by Auguste Perret, in Le Havre

Auguste Perret (1874 – 1954) was a French architect and a leader and specialist in concrete construction.

He was born in Ixelles, Belgium. He was the brother of the architect Gustave Perret.

He worked on a new interpretation of the neo-classical style. He built a cathedral in Le Raincy, France, named "Notre-Dame du Raincy" (1922–1923). He helped with the reconstruction of the French city of Le Havre after more than 80,000 inhabitants of that city were left homeless following World War II.
