Sébastien Le Camus (ca. 1610-1677) was a French composer. He entered into the service of Louis XIII in 1640 and in 1648 became intendant de la musique (music manager) to Gaston d’Orléans (Gaston Jean Baptiste; 24 April 1608 – 2 February 1660, the third son of King Henry IV of France and his wife Marie de’ Medici).
