'''Camille Charles Le Clerc de Fresne''', known as '''Chevalier de Fresne''' (1741-1797) was Governor General of [[Mauritius]] (1785) and [[Puducherry (union territory)|Puducherry]] from 1789 to 1792 in the [[French Colonial Empire]].

He married a widow, Emilie-Thomase de Solminihac (1770-1846), in Puducherry, on 20 June 1788. One significant event occurred in his tenure was Mr. [[Pierre Sonnerat]], Chief of [[Yanam]], was involved in the business along with other traders. [[Pierre Sonnerat]]'s commercial involvement brought serious consequences to his administrative post (Chief of Yanam). The petitions were made against [[Pierre Sonnerat]] in this connection, to Chevalier de Fresne, the then French [[Governor General]] in [[Puducherry (union territory)|Puducherry]]. On 5 June 1790 a French man "De Mars" complained against [[Pierre Sonnerat]] for the first time.
