Bertrand, Comte Clauzel (12 December 1772 – 21 April 1842) was a French soldier who served in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. He saw service in the Low Countries, Italy, and Spain, where he achieved short periods of independent command. He became a Marshal of France under the Orléans monarchy following the July Revolution.

When asked on Saint Helena which of his generals was the most skillful, Napoleon named Clauzel along with Louis-Gabriel Suchet and Étienne Maurice Gérard.^[1]
