Antoine-Gaspard Boucher d'Argis (April 3, 1708 – January 25, 1791) was a French lawyer.[1]

Advisor to the Supreme Council of Dombes in 1753 then at the Châtelet in Paris Boucher d'Argis wrote a number of legal treatises and published the Règles pour former un avocat (Rules of form of a lawyer) of Pierre Biarnoy de Merville in a "re-touched" edition with the Histoire abrégée de l'ordre des avocats.

Beginning in 1742 he began to publish new editions of the Recueil, par ordre alphabétique, des principales questions de droit (Collection, in alphabetical order, of the principle questions of law) by Barthélemy-Joseph Bretonnier (1656–1727).[2] Beginning in 1749 he also offered new editions of Dictionnaire de droit et de pratique by Claude de Ferrière (1639–1715). He also provided more than 4,000 articles on the law for the Encyclopédie Vols. III through XVII including the article on sodomy.

His son was André-Jean Boucher d'Argis.
