Gabriel Cortois de Pressigny (11 December 1745 – 2 May 1823) was a French prelate, Bishop of Saint-Malo and then Archbishop of Besançon.

[3] Vicar General of Langres, abbot commendatory of Saint-Jacques in the diocese of Béziers, he was prior of the priory of Commagny in Moulins-Engilbert, of which he holds the benefit at the time of the Revolution.

He chose as vicar general Jacques-Julien Mesle Grandclos, who was first archdeacon and, since 1782, abbot commendatory of the Abbey of Notre-Dame de la Chaume Machecoul.

He offered his resignation to the Pope only in 1816, a typical attitude of the survivors of the Ancien Régime episcopate, ultra-royalist and Gallican.

Charged in August 1814 by Louis XVIII with negotiating a new concordat with the Holy See, he was recalled in the spring of 1816, and was named peer of France and then Archbishop of Besançon on 20 September 1817.
