Aubrey Boucicault (23 June 1868or69 – 10 July 1913) was a British born stage actor, playwright and matinee idol. He came from a famous family of actors and playwrights, his father being Dion Boucicault.

Aubrey Boucicault was born in London to Dion Boucicault and Agnes Robertson and was their sixth and youngest child.[1] Aubrey's older siblings were Dion William (1855-1876), Eva (1857-1909), Dion Jr., Patrice (1862-?1890) and Nina. Aubrey's first wife was the actress Amy Busby, but they divorced after only a couple years of marriage.[2][3] Busby filed divorce papers naming Victory Bateman as a co-respondent presumably in a case of adultery.[4][5] He was later married to Ruth Holt and had a daughter Rene Boucicault.[6]
