''フランス語:Lettre à M. Dacier'' (full title: ''フランス語:Lettre à M. Dacier relative à l'alphabet des hiéroglyphes phonétiques'': "Letter to M. Dacier concerning the alphabet of the phonetic hieroglyphs") is a scientific communication in the form of a letter sent in 1822 by egyptologist Jean-François Champollion to Bon-Joseph Dacier, secretary of the French ''Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres''. it is the founding text upon which Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics were first systematically deciphered by Champollion, largely on the basis of the multilingual Rosetta Stone. While visiting his brother Jacques-Joseph on September 14, 1822, Champollion made a crucial breakthrough in understanding the phonetic nature of hieroglyphics, and proclaimed ''"Je tiens l'affaire!"'' ("I've got it!") and then fainted dead away.〔Adkins, Lesley and Roy, The Keys to Egypt: The Obsession to Decipher Egyptian Hieroglyphs. p.181 Harper Collins. 2000.

The full and final version was published in late October 1822 by Firmin-Didot in a booklet of 44 pages with 4 illustrated plates.〔Adkins, Lesley and Roy, The Keys to Egypt: The Obsession to Decipher Egyptian Hieroglyphs. p.190 Harper Collins. 2000.
