Joseph Boniface de La Môle (c. 1526-1574) was a devout Protestant Nobleman.

He was the Provencale lover of Marguerite de Valois (and many other women), during the early part of her marriage to Henri of Navarre, the future Henry IV of France.

He served François, Duke of Anjou and Alençon, Marguerite's brother and youngest son of King Henri II of France and Catherine de' Medici. He represented the Duc d’ Alencon during marriage negotiations with Queen Elizabeth of England in 1572.

He was implicated in plots with François and Henri, which due to Catherine de' Medici's hatred of him, led to him being tortured and beheaded in 1574, along with his friend Count Hannibal de Coconat.
