Esprit Calvet (28 November 1728 – 1810) was a French physician and collector. In his last will, established in 1810 and canceling his previous testament of 1788, Calvet donated his cabinet of curiosities, his library and art collections to the city of Avignon, his birthplace. The donation was accepted by Napoleon I, 9 April 1811.
