Gustave-Adolphe Hirn (1815–1890) was a French scientist and inventor best known for his work in the fields of thermodynamics and engineering. He is particularly recognized for his contributions to the understanding of heat engines and the principles of energy conversion. Hirn conducted experiments and developed theories related to the efficiency of engines and the conversion of heat into mechanical work. Hirn's research laid foundational concepts that would later influence the development of modern thermodynamic theory.
