Antoine Vincent Walsh (22 January 1703 – 2 March 1763) was a French merchant, ship owner, and slave trader of Irish descent. He operated in Nantes, Province of Brittany. Born into an expatriate Irish family who had settled in Nantes, his support for Jacobitism led Walsh to assist Charles Edward Stuart during the Jacobite rebellion of 1745.
