Antoine-Charles Taschereau (October 26, 1797 – June 11, 1862) was a government official, land developer, and political figure in Lower Canada and Canada East, Province of Canada (now Quebec). He represented Beauce in the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada from 1830 to 1838, sometimes voting with the government and sometimes with the Parti patriote, including voting for the Ninety-Two Resolutions. He opposed the union of Lower Canada and Upper Canada into the Province of Canada. Following the union, he represented Dorchester in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada from 1841 to 1844, as an anti-unionist and member of the French-Canadian Group.
