Charles-Louis Didelot (27 March 1767, Stockholm - 7 November 1837, Kiev) was a French dancer and choreographer. The son of Charles Didelot, the dance mastor of the King of Sweden, he studied dance with his father, who was an instructor in dance at the Swedish Opera, and debuted as dancer in the theatre of Bollhuset in Stockholm 1786.

He then studied in Paris with Jean Dauberval. And followed his study with Jean-Georges Noverre, under whose lead he debuted in London in 1788.

He arrived in Saint Petersburg in 1801 at the invitation of the director of the Imperial Theatres and he made his debut as the first dancer. His career ended in 1806, following an accident to his leg and to the death of his wife, Rose, a brilliant ballerina. From then on, Didelot taught dance, having an important influence over the development of ballet.

In Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, the yawning protagonist remarks on leaving the Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre in which Didelot worked: "I've suffered ballets long enough, But now Didelot is boring stuff".
