Simon Canuel (29 October 1767, Les Trois Moutiers, in the Vienne – 11 May 1840) was a French general.

First Empire

Napoleon I decided not to put Canuel on active service, keeping him in command of various quiet strongholds. Bored at the inaction, he went over to the Bourbons in 1814 and so during the Hundred Days the following year had to take refuge among the Royalist insurgents of the Vendée.
