Joseph Hélie Désiré Perruquet de Montrichard (24 January 1760, Thoirette - 5 April 1828) was a French general of the French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars.[1] His name is inscribed on the north side of the Arc de Triomphe.

Montrichard commanded the right wing at the Battle of Trebbia in June 1799.[1] In his final action he surrendered Dubronvik to an Anglo Austrian force under William Hoste in January 1814.
