Hachette Livre (French pronunciation: [a.ʃɛt]) (or simply known as Hachette) is a French publishing group that was based in Paris. It was founded in 1826 by Louis Hachette as Brédif which later became successively L. Hachette et Compagnie, Librairie Hachette, Hachette SA and is then currently known in France as Hachette Livre. After acquiring an Australian publisher, Hachette Australia was created; in the UK it became Hachette UK, and its expansion into the United States became Hachette Book Group.

Hachette Livre had been owned by the Lagardère Group since 1981 under their publishing division Lagardère Publishing.
