Armand-François-Marie de Charbonnel OFM Cap (1 December 1802 – 29 March 1891) was the Bishop of Toronto from 1847 to 1860 and the only French and non-English priest to hold the post.

[1] Charbonnel joined the Society of Saint-Sulpice in 1826 and became professor of dogmatic theology and scripture, teaching at Sulpician seminaries in Versailles, Bordeaux, Marseilles, and Lyons.

Charbonnel's intervention during a workers' revolt in that Lyons in 1834 saved the city from destruction, but he would not accept the cross of the Legion of Honour for that action.

[1] Charbonnel repeatedly declined appointments as Vicar-General or coadjutor by the Bishops of Puiy, Autun, Limoges and Bordeaux as well as Superior of the Seminary of Grenoble.

During his ten-year episcopate, he built twenty-three churches, organized the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and founded important institutions: hospitals, orphanages, homes for the elderly, and youth hostels.

Bishop Charbonnel brought several religious communities to the diocese to look after education and social assistance, among others, the Christian Brothers, the Basilian Fathers, and the Sisters of St.
