Jean-Baptiste Legardeur de Repentigny (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ batistə ləɡaʁdœʁ də ʁəpɑ̃tiɲi]; 1632-1709), was born at Thury-Harcourt in Normandy in 1632, and died in Montreal on September 9, 1709.
He became a lieutenant 1688 and a half-pay captain 1692 in the Troupes de la Marine, and a garde-marine in the French Navy 1694.
He retired with a pension from the military in 1702 and installet as a member of the Conseil Souverain in 1705.
He occupied this office for only one month, since the Conseil Souverain considered it unnecessary.
He received from his mother the seigneury of Repentigny on May 2, 1670, which had been granted by the Compagnie de la Nouvelle France in 1647 to his father.
