Henri-Marie Dubreil de Pontbriand

Henri-Marie Dubreuil de Pontbriand (c. January 1708 – 8 June 1760) was a Canadian Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Quebec.

He received his classical education at La Flèche from the Jesuits and studied theology with the Sulpicians in Paris.

In 1740, at the suggestion of his maternal uncle, the Comte de La Garaye, he was named bishop of Quebec by Louis XV and this appointment was approved by pope Benedict XIV in March 1741.

Before his departure, he spent some months at the Sulpician seminary in Paris learning about his diocese, as the congregation was active in Montreal.

In 1749 tension developed between the bishop and the Séminaire de Québec over which had the right to appoint a parish priest in Quebec.
