Louis Charles de Lévis (1647 – 18 September 1717) was a French nobleman and Duke of Ventadour.

His wife was the governess of the infant Louis XV and his only child Anne Geneviève made two prestigious marriages into contemporary nobility.

He married Charlotte de La Motte Houdancourt in Paris on 14 March 1671.

The Duke was generally considered "horrific" — very ugly, physically deformed, and sexually debauched[1] — yet the privileges of being a duchess compensated for the unfortunate match, e.g. le tabouret: In a letter to her daughter, Madame de Sévigné described an incident that took place at St. Germain during an audience with the Queen.

[3] His wife was a lady in waiting to Duchess of Orléans and guardian of the infant Louis XV.
