Joseph Fortuné Théodore Eydoux (1802 - 1841 was a French naturalist.
Eydoux and Louis François Auguste Souleyet were surgeon naturalists on the expedition ship "La Favorite" which made a circumnavigation in 1830-32 captained by Cyrille Pierre Théodore Laplace. In 1836-37 he voyaged again this time with "La Bonite" captained by Auguste-Nicolas Vaillant[1]. He published on the animals and plants collected with Gervais and Louis Souleyet who continued to publish works with Eydoux as co-author after Eydoux's death.
