Louis-Jodel Chamblain (born January 18, 1953 or 1954) is a prominent Haitian military figure who has led both government troops and rebels.
Chamblain first emerged as a notorious figure as a sergeant within the transitional military junta running Haïti following the collapse of Jean-Claude Duvalier's dictatorship in 1986.
With the end of the military regime and restoration of Aristide (following the U.S. Operation Uphold Democracy intervention) in 1994, Chamblain went into exile in the Dominican Republic.
Shortly after his return, he captured the central city of Hinche from the Haitian police with a force of 50 men.
In April 2004, he turned himself in to face a retrial in the case of Izméry's murder and was acquitted; he was eventually released from prison in August 2005.
