Eugène Charles Apert (July 27, 1868 - February 2 1940) was a French pediatrician who was born in Paris. He received his doctorate in 1897 and afterwards was associated with the Hôtel-Dieu and Hôpital Saint-Louis. From 1919 until 1934 he worked at the Hôpital des Enfants-Malades in Paris. Apert cited pediatrician Jacques-Joseph Grancher (1843-1907), surgeon Paul Georges Dieulafoy (1839-1911), pediatrician Antoine Bernard-Jean Marfan (1858-1942) and dermatologist François Henri Hallopeau (1842-1919) as influences in his career.
Apert's medical research primarily dealt with genetic diseases and congenital abnormalities. In 1906 he documented several cases of individuals who had congenital malformations of the skull. This disorder was to become known as Apert syndrome and consists of a triad of disorders, namely craniosynostosis, syndactyly and maxillary underdevelopment.
Apert published many articles in the field of pediatrics, including an influential manual on child rearing. He was also a founding member of the French Society of Eugenics.
