Louis-Théodore Besserer (January 4, 1785 – February 3, 1861) was a businessman, notary and political figure in Lower Canada.
He represented Quebec County in the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada from 1833 to 1838.
He supported the Ninety-Two Resolutions, but preferred working through legal channels to rebellion.
So, the British government saw him as a rebel, while the Parti patriote resented his moderate stance.
He subdivided this property and sold off building lots; this area is now the Ottawa neighbourhood of Sandy Hill.
