Francisque Arban, also known as Francesco Arban di Lione (born 1815 – disappeared 7 October 1849), was a French balloonist. In 1849, he was the first person to cross the Alps in a balloon, a feat not repeated until 1924. He disappeared over the Mediterranean Sea in 1849. Arban was born in Lyons, one of the ten children of Simon Arban, artificier. A younger brother was the cornetist Jean-Baptiste Arban. He made several balloon flights starting in 1832, but mostly in Italy between 1845 and 1849. He made his twelfth flight from Rome in April 1846, and he was rescued from the sea after a flight from Trieste later in 1846. He is best known for his hydrogen balloon flight in 1849, crossing the Alps from Marseilles to Turin. He departed from the Chateau-des-Fleurs at 6.30pm on 2 September 1849 and ascended to about {{convert|13000|ft}} over the Massif de l'Esterel. He passed Monte Viso in the Cottian Alps at 1:30am on 3 September, to the south of Mont Blanc, at about {{convert|15000|ft}} and landed at 2.30am on 3 September, on a farm in the village of Pion Porte, near Stupinigi, about {{convert|4|mi}} west of Turin. He took off on a balloon flight from Barcelona on 7 October 1849, but his balloon was blown over the Mediterranean Sea. He disappeared without trace, and is thought to have died shortly afterwards.
