Claude Hochet (24 November 1772 – 3 October 1857) was a French journalist, author and civil servant who was secretary-general of the Conseil d'État from 1816 to 1839.
He is best known as a friend of Madame de Staël, Benjamin Constant, Abel-François Villemain and Prosper de Barante.
Their letters to him have been preserved, and are a valuable record of the intellectual life of the First French Empire.
