Mariano Francisco Julio Goybet (17 August 1861 – 29 September 1943) was a French Army general, who held several commands in World War I.

The coat of arms of this extinct branch was a blue field with three silver stars at the head and an upturned crescent at the point.

He studied at the college in Lyon, then at the military school École Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr and was promoted to second lieutenant in 1884.

He was promoted to lieutenant in the 140th Regiment of Infantry, stationed in Grenoble, and then attended L'Ecole de Guerre (the War College), graduating with honours in 1892.

He served on the staff of the 27th Infantry Division, was promoted to captain in 1893 and was appointed as orderly officer to general Charles Zédé, governor of Lyon, in 1896.

With violent attacks, General Goybet broke the enemy front at Monthois, taking many prisoners and considerable materiel.

Lebanon and Syria became a French mandate and in July 1920, the 24th Division commanded by General Goybet advanced on Damascus.
