Louis Lepic was a high-ranking French General born in the Montpellier region in the south of France on 20 September 1765.

He originally enlisted on May 17, 1781 in the Regiment de Lescure Dragons which later became the Chasseurs des Trois Eveches and then in January 1791 the 2e Chasseurs-a-Cheval. By October 1792 he was a Lieutenant Colonel and then joined the 21e Chasseurs-a-Cheval as Chef d'Escadron.

The General's name appears with those of many of his contemporaries on the east face of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris
