Charles Armand Tuffin, marquis de la Rouërie (13 April 1751 – 30 January 1793) was a French army officer who served in the American Revolutionary War. He was promoted to brigadier general after the siege of Yorktown and led Chouan rebels during the Chouannerie. La Rouërie is less-remembered than Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette and other Frenchmen in writings on France in the American Revolutionary War.
