Louis Orvoën (9 December 1919 – 21 September 1994) was a French politician.

Orvoën was a member of the National Assembly from 1946 to 1951. He returned to the legislative body in 1956, sat until 1968, and was later elected to Senate between 1971 and 1980.[1][2]

Orvoën became mayor of Moëlan-sur-Mer in 1959, one year after his election to the general council of the canton of Pont-Aven [fr]. In 1978, he succeeded André Colin, who died in office, as President of the General Council of Finistère.[3][4] Upon Orvoën's retirement in 1988, Charles Miossec replaced him.
