Félix Jean-Baptiste Chadenet (7 April 1798 – 24 September 1874) was a French lawyer, civil servant and politician who twice represented the department of Meuse in the legislature.
He had right wing views and supported Prince Louis-Napoleon (Napoleon III) before and after the 1851 coup that established the Second French Empire.
He voted for restoration of physical constraint, for the prosecution of Louis Blanc and Marc Caussidière, for the state of siege, against abolition of the death penalty, against the Jules Grévy amendment, against the right to work and against reduction of the salt tax.
He wrote to the editor of the official Moniteur saying that he had been sick at home on 12 January, but the ballot paper perfectly expressed his will.
[1] After the coup d'état Chadenet entered the administration and was appointed Master of Requests in extraordinary service.
He ran as official candidate for Representative of Meuse in the Corps législatif on 31 May 1863, and was elected on 1 June 1863 by 11,290 votes out of 22,513.
