Jean-Baptiste de la Croix de Chevrière de St. Vallier (November 14, 1653 – December 26, 1727) was appointed to the see of Quebec as bishop in 1685 by Louis XIV. But, Blessed Pope Innocent XI was not granting any more bulls of investiture.
Abbé Saint-Vallier travelled to Canada as vicar-general of Bishop Laval. He officially became Laval's successor in 1688.
