Joseph d'Honon de Gallifet (d. 1706) was a French aristocrat and colonial administrator. He served as the Governor of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) from 1700 to 1703, and the Governor of Guadeloupe from 1703 to 1706. Gallifet dealt with the reality of buccaneers as soon as he arrived in Saint-Domingue.
