Pierre de Saurel (1626–1682) was a captain in France's Carignan-Salières Regiment and later a seigneur in New France. He was with the Carignan-Salières in 1665 when it was sent to New France to protect the colony from the Iroquois. When the regiment returned to France in 1668, Saurel remained behind and was granted a seigneury at the mouth of the Richelieu River, now the site of the city of Sorel-Tracy in Quebec, Canada.
