Raoul Auger (or Anger) Feuillet (c.1660–1710) was a French dance notator, publisher and choreographer most well-known today for his ''Chorégraphie, ou l'art de décrire la danse'' (Paris, 1700) which described Beauchamp–Feuillet notation, and his subsequent collections of ballroom and theatrical dances, which included his own choreographies as well as those of Pécour.
His ''Chorégraphie'' (1700) was translated into English by John Weaver (as ''Orchesography. Or the Art of Dancing'') (1706) and P. Siris (as ''The Art of Dancing''), both published in 1706. Weaver also translated the ''Traité de la cadance'' from Feuillet's 1704 ''Recŭeil de dances'' (as ''A Small Treatise of Time and Cadence in Dancing'', 1706).
