Marie-Charles du Chilleau d'Airvault (4 September 1734 – 31 March 1794 in Rochefort) was a French general and colonial administrator.
He rose to be maréchal de camp and served as governor of Dominica and then of Saint-Domingue until being dismissed in 1789 for opposing the ban on import of foreign flour.
[5] Chilleau was governor general of Saint Domingue from 1788 to 1794, nominated to this post by César-Henri de la Luzerne, Minister of the Navy.
[6] On 31 March 1789 Chilleau proposed to open the ports of the colony to the import of foreign grain, although he was forbidden to do so by the French Council of State.
[2] Chilleau issued an ordinance on 9 May 1789 allowing free import of grain from the United States and other foreign countries for five years.
