Claudio Gabriele de Launay (6 October 1786 – 21 February 1850) was an Italian military officer who served as Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia from 27 March to 7 May 1849.

He too married a French noblewoman, Camille Angelique Caze de Méry.

After the fall of Napoleon, de Launay re-entered the Savoyard army and was promoted to the Maggiore grade in 1825, Colonel in 1831 and Luogotenente Generale in 1843, the same year in which he became the last Viceroy of Sardinia.

After the defeat in the First War of Independence in Italy, de Launay was elected Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1849, holding at the same time the office of Foreign Minister, the first one after Vittorio Emanuele II's ascent to the throne.

De Launay was subsequently nominated Generale d'Armata and later retired to private life.
