Pierre Chastellain (1606 – 14 August 1684) was a Jesuit missionary among the Huron Chastellain joined the Jesuits in 1624 and in 1636 sailed for New France with two other priests, Fathers Isaac Jogues and Charles Garnier. Also on the voyage was the Governor of New France, Charles de Montmagny who was replacing Samuel de Champlain.

In July, 1636, Chastellain and Garnier left Trois-Rivières to join the mission in the Huron country. He spent almost fifty years at appointments among the Hurons as well as in Quebec. He was a strong gentle man with a personal charity towards others.
