Jean Ambroise Baston de Lariboisière, also Count de Lariboisière, was a general of artillery of the First French Empire.
He fought in the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars and died of fatigue at Königsberg in East Prussia on 21 December 1812, during the Grand Army's retreat from Moscow. A superb organizer and tactician, Baston de Lariboisière rose rapidly through the artillery ranks and reliably directed the artillery park for the initial engagements of the War of the First Coalition in 1793–1794.
He also directed the investment and, if necessary, the sieges of Mainz, Ulm, and Danzig, among others.
In addition, he was a reliable commander of infantry, supporting Laurent Saint-Cyr's corps in northern Italy in the 1799 campaign. Lariboisière's direction of artillery fire at the Battle of Austerlitz resulted in the destruction of the ice covering the lake over which Russian army forces retreated.
His placement of artillery at the Battle of Borodino gave the French a tactical advantage in fire on the Russian lines.
Lariboisière's artillery also provided the rear guard coverage of the French withdrawal from Beresina.
One of his sons survived the wars and the family founded the Lariboisière Hospital in Paris.
