Louis, Dauphin of France and Duke of Guyenne (22 January 1397 – 18 December 1415) was a younger son of Charles VI of France and Isabella of Bavaria-Ingolstadt. He was the third child of his parents to hold the title Dauphin of France (technically Viennois), holding it from the death of his older brother in 1401, when he was likewise made Duke of Aquitaine (Guyenne).
In 1412, he married Margaret of Burgundy. He was not present at the Battle of Agincourt, remaining with his father King Charles at Rouen. He died in December, possibly of dysentery (as recorded by the chronicler-monks of St Denis).
He is sometimes mistakenly confused with Charles VII of France, who was Dauphin at the time that he met Joan of Arc.
