Eugène Élie Beaudouin (20 July 1898 – 14 January 1983) was a French architect and urban planner. In the interwar period he was an early practitioner of modern architecture. After World War II he designed many large public projects.

Early life
Beaudouin was born in Paris as the son of architect Leon Beaudouin and the nephew of architect Albert Beaudouin. He studied architecture in the atelier of Emmanuel Pontremoli at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts. He won the Prix de Rome in architecture in 1928. After graduating, he worked in the practice of his father, which he eventually inherited, and assisted the urbanist J.C.N Forestier in preparing his master plan for Havanna.

In the late 1920s he began a partnership with architect Marcel Lods. The two had met in Pontremoli's studio. Lods had spent the early 1920s working in the office of Beaudouin's uncle Albert. When Albert retired, the two inherted his practice, which included as clients a number of public housing societies.

École de plein air de Suresnes
The École de plein air de Suresnes was an open air school in the municipality of Suresnes, near Paris. It was built for children who were of fragile health or at risk of tuberculosis, and after World War II was opened to other handicapped children.
