Joseph Charles André, baron d'Arbaud de Jouques, dit marquis d'Arbaud-Jouques (1769–1849) was a French aristocrat, military officer and public official.

Joseph Charles André d'Arbaud de Jouques was born on 11 May 1769 in Aix-en-Provence.

He grew up in the Hôtel d'Arbaud-Jouques located at 19 on the Cours Mirabeau, listed as monument historique since 1990.

[1] Opposed to the French Revolution of 1789, he served in the Army of Condé to overthrow the French Directory and, after the 18 Brumaire of 1799, he received the Cross of the Order of Saint Louis and the Knighthood of the Legion of Honour from Napoleon.

D'Arbaud de Jouques was close to Joseph Fouché (1759–1820), who encouraged him to accept public offices.
