Joseph Bodin de Boismortier (1689 - 1755) was a French composer. In his early works, he favored wind instruments, especially the transverse flute, which he played, and was in line with the duos of Michel de La Barre and de Hotteterre. He nevertheless wrote for all instruments (chamber music and concertos), as well as for the voice (operas, cantatas, motets, arias).
