Arnaud Julie Beauvais (September 6, 1783 – November 18, 1843), also known as Armand Beauvais, or Arnaud Jules Beauvais, was the seventh Governor of Louisiana, as well as member and Speaker of the Louisiana House of Representatives, and member and President of the Louisiana State Senate. His governorship oversaw little change, aside from the transition of the capital of Louisiana being moved from New Orleans to Donaldsonville. He worked as a merchant and plantation owner, as well.
