Jean Auguste de Chastenet de Puységur (11 November 1740 – 14 August 1815, Rabastens) was a French bishop. He was named bishop of Saint-Omer on 29 June 1775, then bishop of Carcassonne in 1778.
In 1788, he became archbishop of Bourges. A deputy to Estates-General of 1789, on the French Revolution he emigrated to Wolfenbüttel, where he lived with the archbishop of Rheims, Talleyrand-Périgord.
The 1801 Concordat between France and the Pope forced him to resign, but allowed him to return to Rabastens, where he then lived until his death.
