Alexandre Deschapelles (French pronunciation: [alɛksɑ̃dʁ deʃapɛl]; March 7, 1780, in Ville-d'Avray near Versailles – October 27, 1847, in Paris) was a French chess player who, between the death of François-André Danican Philidor and the rise of Louis-Charles Mahé de La Bourdonnais, was probably the strongest player in the world.
