Amédée, marquis de Pastoret (2 January 1791 – 18 May 1857) was a French writer and politician.

Born in Paris, he was the son of marquis Emmanuel de Pastoret, parliamentarian and minister. He was sent to Rome in 1809 secretary general to the minister of the interior of the provisional government. He became a legitimist and refused to swear loyalty to Louis-Philippe of France in 1830. He rallied to Louis-Napoléon and was made a senator of the Second French Empire on 31 December 1852. He was a patron of Ingres, commissioning several of his works such as The Dauphin's Entry Into Paris. He died in Paris.
