Auguste Jean Baptiste Castille (12 May 1883 – 17 September 1971) was a French gymnast.[2] He competed at the 1900 Summer Olympics and the 1908 Summer Olympics.[3] Additionally, he competed at the 1909 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships where he was part of the championship-winning team. There were no individual awards at the 1909 tournament, with indiivudal medals for all-round performance only being introduced in 1922 and for apparatus some years later, but the FIG has retrospectively recognised Castille as placing second on parallel bars in the 1909 tournament.[4]
