Gaëtan de Grimaudet, comte de Rochebouët (French: [ɡa.etɑ̃ də ʁɔʃbu.ɛ]; 16 March 1813 – 23 February 1899) was a French general who served as Prime Minister for less than a month in late 1877.
On 29 June 1877, Patrice de MacMahon dissolved the Chamber of Deputies after losing a vote on the freedom of the press. The resulting elections of 14 October 1877 were a victory for Republicans, who won a majority of seats. President MacMahon at first attempted to resist the result. He asked General Rochebouët to form a "department of business", with which the House refused to deal: Rochebouët resigned only 20 days after his appointment. MacMahon decided to accept the conditions of Jules Dufaure, forming a new, left of center government.
