Antoine Louis Albitte (30 December 1761, Dieppe, Seine-Maritime – 23 December 1812, Rossienie) was a French Revolutionary politician. He was deputy for Seine-Inférieure in the Legislative Assembly and the National Convention, where he was known as "Albitte the elder" to distinguish him from his brother Jean-Louis Albitte - he sat there from pluviôse, Year II. He also fought as an officer in the French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars - he died of cold, fatigue and hunger on the retreat from Russia after three days of suffering.

Life

Born into a merchant family in Dieppe, as the son of François-Antoine Albitte "former guard of the king" and Marie Barbe Bourdon. His first cousin was Pierre Nicolas Étienne Langlois (1756-1819), who would be deputy for Seine-Inférieure in the Legislative Assembly. He was the illicit lover in an affair of Mrs. Ducastel, whose husband was also a legislature deputy. He studied at the town's Oratorian college before studying law in Rouen, where he became a lawyer. He set up home in Dieppe and became a freemason
