Pierre François Keraudren

Pierre François Keraudren (1769 – 1858) was a scientist and physician in the French Navy.

His name has been honoured in several ways:

Keraudren Island is located west of Australia at 14°56′33″S 124°41′2″E / -14.9425, 124.68389.
Cape Keraudren in the north-west of Australia was charted in 1801 and is located at 19°57′S 119°46′E / -19.95, 119.767 at the southern end of Eighty Mile Beach. Keraudren served as the ship's official physician during this expedition.
Cape Keraudren at the north of Hunter Island in the north-west of Tasmania at 40°23′S 144°47′E / -40.383, 144.783.
The Trumpet Manucode, a bird of paradise found in New Guinea, was given the scientific name Manucodia keraudrenii by René-Primevère Lesson and Prosper Garnot in 1826.
He also appears to be the person after whom the gastropods Oxygyrus keraudrenii (Charles-Alexandre Lesueur, 1817) and Pterotrachea keraudrenii (Fortune Eydoux and Louis François Auguste Souleyet, 1832) were named.
