Hector-Henri Malot (Hector Malot) ( French pronunciation: [ɛktɔʁ malo]; 20 May 1830 – 18 July 1907) was a French writer born in La Bouille, Seine-Maritime.

His first book, published in 1859, was Les Amants. In total Malot wrote over 70 books. By far his most famous book is Sans Famille (Nobody's Boy, 1878), which deals with the travels of the young orphan Remi, who is sold to the street musician Vitalis at age 8.
