Pierre Jérôme Honoré Daumet (1826 - 1911) was a French architect.
Daumet was the winner of the Prix de Rome in 1855, and in 1861 conducted a treasure-hunting expedition to Macedonia at the request of Napoleon III, accompanying the archaeologist Léon Heuzey. On his return he married the daughter of architect Charles Questel.
Daumet founded his own atelier which would produce nine further Grand Prix winners, Charles-Louis Girault chief among them, and attracted a number of foreign students such as Charles McKim.
In 1908 Daumet won the Royal Gold Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
Major work includes:
- Extension and western front of the Palais de Justice in Paris, 1857 - 1868, with Louis Joseph Duc
- Reconstruction of the Château de Chantilly, 1875 - 1882
- Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, Paris, 1884 - 1886 (Daumet was one of five architects who completed the building after the death of Paul Abadie)
- Grenoble, Palais de Justice, Palais des Facultés
