{{lang|fr|L'amant statue}} is an opera in one act by composer Nicolas Dalayrac with a French libretto by Desfontaines-Lavallée. The opera was premiered by the Comédie-Italienne at the first Salle Favart in Paris on 4 August 1785. It was revived on 30 September 1802 at the Salle Feydeau.Wild & Charlton 2005, pp. 50, 131. Another source states the opera was premiered on that date, 4 August 1785, at the Palace of Fontainebleau in the presence of King Louis XVI of France ([http://www.operone.de/opern/amant.html L'amant statue von Dalayrac] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081211115218/http://www.operone.de/opern/amant.html |date=2008-12-11 }}). Desfontaines' libretto had previously been performed as an opéra-comique en vaudevilles (that is, without the music of Dalayrac), first at Brunoy on 23 November 1780, and then at the Hôtel de Bourgogne in Paris on 20 February 1781 (Wild & Charlton).
