Madeleine Thérèse Marie Boucherit Le Faure (née Boucherit; 13 May 1879 – 14 October 1960) was a French pianist and composer. A teacher at the Conservatoire de Paris, she authored several pieces for piano, specifically for children, gave conducting lessons to young students, and directed the chamber orchestra the petits concerts Mozart that she established.

Her brother, violinist Jules Boucherit, was two years younger than Madeleine and they often concertized together.[1]
