Claude de Beauharnais (22 September 1674 – 15 January 1738) was a French nobleman. He was sieur de Beaumont et de Bellechauve, captain des vaisseaux du roi, and a knight of the Order of Saint Louis. He was the son of François IV de Beauharnais, seigneur de La Boische and his wife Marie Marguerite-Françoise Puyvart de Chastullé.
In 1713, Claude de Beauharnais married Renée Hardouineau (daughter of Pierre Hardouineau, seigneur de La Laudanière and his wife Renée Le Pays de Beauville). They had two children:
- François V de Beauharnais (February 08, 1714 – June 18, 1800), seigneur de Beaumont et de Bellechauve, marquis de la Ferté-Beauharnais.
- Claude de Beauharnais, 1st comte des Roches-Baritaud (1717–1784), who in 1753 married Anne Mouchard de Chaban (1738–1813) (three children, including Claude de Beauharnais).
Through his son François, Claude became grandfather of Alexandre de Beauharnais, great-grandfather of Eugène de Beauharnais and Hortense de Beauharnais.
