Alphonse Gustave Révillon d'Apreval (1 November 1851 – 22 February 1915) was a French botanical illustrator and lithographer, known for his images in Plantae Davidianae (1884–88), Illustrationes Florae Insularum Maris Pacifici (1886–92) and Histoire physique, naturelle et politique de Madagascar (1882). Henri Ernest Baillon, the French physician and botanist, and main contributor to Histoire physique, naturelle et politique de Madagascar, named a new genus d'Aprevalia after him in 1884, no doubt in honour of his illustrating the work, but the name was later placed under Delonix by René Paul Raymond Capuron. A number of species such as Commiphora aprevalii (Baill.) Guillaumin, were named to commemorate him.

Born in Paris, d'Apreval died in Alfortville, Val-de-Marne.
