Émile Baudot, ( September 11 1845 - March 28 1903), French telegraph engineer and inventor of the Baudot code. One of the pioneers of telecommunication.

The term " baud" (a measure of symbols transmitted per second) is named after Emile Baudot.

In 1949, the French Post Office issued a series of stamps with his portrait. By mistake, the year of his birth was given as 1848, not the correct 1845. The stamps were subsequently re-issued with the correct year.
