Jean-Baptiste Pallegoix

Jean-Baptiste Pallegoix, M.E.P. (October 24 1805–June 18 1862) was vicar apostolic of Eastern Siam.

Born in Combertault, France, he was consecrated as a priest of the Société des Missions Etrangères on May 31, 1828. On June 3, 1838 he was assigned as Coadjutor Vicar Apostolic of Siam and titular bishop of Mallus. He was consecrated the same day by Bishop Jean-Paul-Hilaire-Michel Courvezy, the vicar apostolic of Siam [cite book|title=Mémorial de la Société des Missions-Étrangères|author=Adrien Launay|page=159|year=1916] . On September 10, 1841 he succeeded Courvezy and became vicar apostolic of Eastern Siam.

Bishop Pallegoix was highly esteemed by King Mongkut, and they often discussed issues with each other. The king even personally assisted at Pallegoix' funeral.
