Claude-Godefroy Coquart (February 2, 1706 – July 4, 1765) was a Jesuit priest who probably arrived in Quebec in 1739.
He was almost immediately assigned to accompany La Vérendrye to the western forts.
He was to replace Father Jean-Pierre Aulneau who had died in the massacre on Lake of the Woods in 1736.
We do know that he was aware of, and wrote about La Colle's raid on the Sioux of the Prairies in 1741.
He was the first recorded missionary in present-day Manitoba and the first to travel so far west.
