List of counts of Albon and dauphins of Viennois

"Dauphin of Viennois" redirects here. For the heirs to the French throne, see Dauphin of France.

The counts of Albon (French: comtes d'Albon) were medieval counts of Albon in the Kingdom of Burgundy, in what is now south-eastern France. Their title was derived from the Château d'Albon. From the end of the 13th century, they were also styled as dauphins of Viennois (French: dauphins de Viennois). In 1349, the last local dauphin sold his domains and titles to the House of Valois. Over time, by the 15th century, the title Dauphin of Viennois gradually evolved into the Dauphin of France.
