Felice Pasquale Bacciocchi (May 8, 1762 - April 27, 1841, Rome) was an officer in the French army from a noble but poor Corsican family who married Elisa Maria Bonaparte in 1797. The couple had 4 children, of whom 3 survived to adulthood:

  • Felice Napoleon (1798-1799)
  • Elisa Napoleona (1806-1869)
  • Napoleone Carlo Felice (1826-1853)
  • Federico Napoleone (1813-1833)

After his brother-in-law's conquests, Bacciocchi became Prince of Lucca, but without the associated powers or the sovereign power, which really exercised by his wife. They separated in 1805 and he moved to Rome, living a simple life there until his death.
