René Nicolas Charles Augustin de Maupeou (French: [mopu]; 25 February 1714 – 29 July 1792) was a French lawyer, politician, and chancellor of France, whose attempts at reform signalled the failure of enlightened despotism in France.
He is best known for his effort to destroy the system of parlements, which were powerful regional courts, in 1770–74.
When King Louis XV died in 1774, the parlements were restored and Maupeou lost power.
