Anne Charles Basset de Montaigu, (French pronunciation: [an ʃaʁl basɛ mɔ̃tɛɡy]) born 10 June 1751 in Versailles (Yvelines), died 8 May 1821 at Lunéville (Meurthe-et-Moselle) was a general of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. Tainted by his association with Charles Pichegru, he was cleared by a courts-martial in 1797, and served subsequently in the Army of the Danube and in the Grande Armée until his retirement from military service in 1811.
