Paul Étienne Victor Wachs (19 September 1851 – 6 July 1915) was a French composer, organist and pianist. He is most remembered for his salon compositions for piano.
After his studies, he became the second organist at the Church of Saint-Sulpice. In 1874, he left this position to be the choirmaster at the Church of Saint-Merri. This position had previously been held by
Camille Saint-Saëns. He held this position until 1896. In 1908, Wachs bought a large property in Saint-Mandé, which he named Les Myrtles after one of his compositions. He lived there with his family until his death at age 63.
Among his works for piano, the most famous is Promenade à Âne.
