Gaspard de Coligny, Seigneur de Châtillon (16 February 1519 – 24 August 1572) was a French nobleman and admiral, best remembered as a disciplined Huguenot leader in the French Wars of Religion and a close friend and advisor to King Charles IX of France.
On 22 August 1572, Coligny was shot in the street by a man called Maurevert from a house belonging to de Guise. He was reportedly the first victim of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre.
