Augustin Gorsse was a French politician born on September 20, 1784 in Albi (Tarn) and died on March 6, 1868 in Albi.
He entered the Ecole Polytechnique in 1802, graduating as an artillery officer. He was placed on inactive status in 1815, and became director of the Western Forges in Rennes in 1817, then director of the Mutzig arms factory in 1824 and sub-inspector of the Strasbourg foundry in 1828. In 1831, he became colonel and inspector of the Paris foundries, and in 1841, maréchal de camp, artillery commander in Toulouse. He was transferred to the reserve army in 1846, and entered politics. He was General Councillor for the Tarn department in 1847. He was deputy of the Tarn from 1852 to 1868, official candidate for the majority, and mayor of Albi from 1853 to 1859. On his death, his son Raymond Gorsse succeeded him as deputy.
