Hortense Allart de Méritens (; pseudonym '''Prudence de Saman L'Esbatx'''; 7 September 1801 – 28 February 1879) was an Italian-French feminist writer and essayist. Her novels, based on her adventures, did not have much success, except for ''Les enchantements de Prudence, Avec George Sand'' ("The Enchantment of Prudence, with George Sand") (1873), which had a ''succès de scandale''.
