Count Jacques Charles Noel Dugé de Bernonville (20 December 1897 – 26 April 1972) was a French collaborationist and senior police officer in the Milice of the Vichy regime in France.
He was known to hunt down and execute resistance fighters during World War II, as well as for his participation in antisemitic programs, including the deportation of French Jews to Drancy and extermination camps.
As a right-hand man to Klaus Barbie (later convicted for crimes against humanity), de Bernonville participated in the establishment and enforcement of the Vichy regime's program of antisemitic policies.
