Henry Madin (7 October 1698 – 3 February 1748) was a French composer at the Chapelle royale.
Madin was born in Verdun of Irish parents who had left Ireland in the early 1690s with the Wild Geese and settled in Verdun. His first music studies took place in Verdun, among the children singing in the cathedral school. After having directed church choirs at the cathedrals of Meaux, Verdun, Tours, and Rouen), Madin moved to Versailles, where he was first active for the King's service, in 1738, after having ensured membership in the royal chapel. From 1741, protected by Louis XV, Madin was appointed Governor of the Pages, succeeding the composer André Campra. After his release in 1740, he shared the responsibilities with the composers Esprit Antoine Blanchard and Jean-Joseph Cassanéa de Mondonville until his death in Versailles).
