Eugène Pieton (31 December 1837, Le Neubourg – 18 November 1904, Elbeuf) was a weaver and a Labour Court advisor in Elbeuf who was active in the workers' movement.[1]
In 1869 he joined and soon became a leading figure in the Federation of Rouen Workers (French: Fédération ouvriere rouenaise), the local branch of the International Workingmen's Association.[2] In 1869 he was a delegate to the Basle Congress of the IWA.[3]
Following the defeat of the Paris Commune several of the leading figures in the worker movement around Rouen went into exile. However Pieton organised a meeting of weavers in Elbeuf which led to the formation of a corporation of weavers.[1]
