Bonabes Louis Victurnien, Marquess of Rougé, Peer of France, (31 January 1778 in Paris[1] – 29 March 1839 in Paris[2]) was a French military officer and statesman.

In 1794, he entered the service of Austria as aide-de-camp to the Prince von Waldeck.

With the restoration of the House of Bourbon, he was appointed Adjutant-Major of the King's Swiss Guards, and he received the cross of the military order of Saint Louis.

During the Hundred Days, he followed Louis XVIII into exile; as a reward, he was later promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander of the French Column of the Royal Swiss.

He later refused to swear allegiance to Louis Philippe and resigned his commission in 1830.
