Claude Bourgelat (March 27, 1712 – January 3, 1779) was a French veterinary surgeon.
Bourgelat was born at Lyon. He was the founder of veterinary colleges at Lyon in 1761, as well as an authority on horse management, and often consulted on the matter. Other dates claimed for the establishment of the Lyon College, the first veterinary school in the world, are 1761 and 1764.
