Louis-Marie-Florent du Châtelet (1727-1793), was an aristocratic French Army general and diplomat of the Ancien Régime. The Duke served as Governor of Semur-en-Auxois in Burgundy as well as Ambassador to the Court of St James's. He was appointed to command the Regiment of French Guards shortly before the outbreak of the Revolution in 1789. Châtelet was subsequently imprisoned and guillotined.
