Vice-Admiral Philippe d'Auvergne (13 November 1754 – 18 September 1816) was a British Royal Navy officer who was the adopted son of Godefroy de La Tour d'Auvergne, the Duke of Bouillon. He chose a career in the Navy that spanned a period of history where Great Britain was at the centre of wars and empire building and took him from Boston and the War of Independence to espionage with French Royalists; prisoner of war to shipwrecked; all this whilst hoping to become a Walloon ruler or, at least, heir to a princely fortune.
