Martin Jules Gouffé (French pronunciation: [ʒyl ɡufe]; 1807 – 28 February 1877) was a French chef and pâtissier, nicknamed l'apôtre de la cuisine décorative ("The apostle of decorative cooking").

He had a deep impact on the development of French gastronomy by publishing unusually simple and precise recipes in his cookery books, of which the two best-known are Le Livre de cuisine (1867) and Le Livre de pâtisserie (1873).
