Gaspard Auguste Brullé (7 April, 1809 – 21 January, 1873) was a Frenchentomologist.

Passionate about insects from a young age and through the intervention ofGeorges Cuvier, he participated in theMorea expedition organised byJean Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent in 1829.

In 1832, he participated in the foundation of theSociété entomologique de France. The following year he became an aide-naturaliste (assistant naturalist) toJean Victoire Audouin in charge ofCrustacea,Arachnida and insects.

Brullé studied for and obtained abaccalauréat in sciences then in "lettres", before qualifying in 1839 as a Doctor of Natural Science. His thesis, published in 1837, wasSur le gisement des insectes fossiles et sur les services que l'étude de ces animaux peut fournir à la géologie. He became the Professor ofZoology andComparative Anatomy at theUniversity of Dijon.

He proposed a newclassification ofNeuroptera which was completed byWilhelm Ferdinand Erichson. He also wrote the introduction, parts of the text ofHistoire naturelle des insectes coléoptères (published in 1840) withFrancis de Laporte de Castelnau and parts ofHistoire naturelle des insectes.
