Louis of France, Count d'Évreux (May 3, 1276 – May 19, 1319, Paris) was the third son of King Philip III the Bold with his second wife Maria of Brabant, and half-brother of King Philip IV the Fair.

Louis was quiet and reflective; politically, opposed to his half-brother Charles of Valois, but intimate with his nephew Philip, later Philip V of France.

He married Marguerite d'Artois, daughter of Philip of Artois and sister of Robert III d'Artois, and had five children:
