Louis-Simon le Poupet de la Boularderie

Louis-Simon le Poupet de la Boularderie (c. 1674 – 6 June 1738) was a French born naval officer who was important in Canadian history for various roles he took on in the New World.

Louis-Simon's family came to Canada and he entered the regular colonial troops in 1693. He served as as an ensign and, subsequently, as a lieutenant to Governor Pastour de Costebelle at Plaisance, Newfoundland. He was involved in military operations there in 1696–97 under the command of Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville.

La Boularderie is most often remembered for his colonization and development efforts, most particularly at his concession along La Petite Brador.
