Madeleine Milhaud (22 March 1902 – 17 January 2008)[1] was the cousin and the wife of Darius Milhaud[2], a 20th-century French composer.

Madeleine Milhaud was born in Paris[3]. Her father, Darius' uncle, was from Aix-en-Provence[3], and her mother from Brussels. She began acting at a young age, and had a long career as an actress and reciter.

Darius and Madeleine Milhaud were married in 1925[3]; they had one son[2][3], Daniel (born 1930), a painter. Darius' piano suite La Muse Menagère (The Household Muse) is dedicated to her[4], and depicts their daily life together[5]. She wrote the libretti for his operas Médée and Bolivar[1].
