Jean-Baptiste Sebastien Bréval (6 November 1753 – 18 March 1823) was a French cellist and composer. He wrote mostly pieces for his own instrument, and performed many world premières of his own pieces. Bréval is most well-known for his Sonata in C major Op. 40, No. 1, which is one of the classics of student cello literature, and often one of the first full sonatas a cello student will learn. Versions have also been published transcribed for other string instruments, including the viola, and for bass clarinet.
