Baron de Longueuil (French pronunciation: [baʁɔ̃ d(ə) lɔ̃ɡœj]) is a title of French nobility. It was created in 1700 for Charles le Moyne de Longueuil, a Norman military officer. Its continuing recognition since the cession of Canada by France to Britain is based on the Treaty of Paris (1763), which reserved to those of French descent all rights which they had enjoyed before the cession.
