Théophile Bidard de la Noë (11 March 1804 – 23 October 1877) was a French politician and law professor, although he might be most remembered as the employer and principal witness for the prosecution against serial killer Hélène Jégado in 1851.[1]

Bidard was born in Rennes in 1804.[2] He sat in the Constituent Assembly from 1848 to 1849 as a moderate republican and in the National Assembly from 1871 to 1876 as a member of the Orléanist parliamentary group, Centre droit.

He served as Mayor of Rennes.[when?]
