Paul-Agricole Génin (born February 14, 1832 in Avignon , † December 22, 1903 in Paris ) was a French flautist and composer (the first name Pierre Agricole, which can sometimes be read in concert programs, may be due to a confusion with a later flautist named Pierre Gen ( n) in her).
Génin studied at the Conservatoire de Paris with Jean-Louis Tulou and Louis Dorus . In 1861 he was awarded a First Prize there. He later worked as a solo flutist at the Théâtre Italy and the Orchester Colonne in Paris.
