The de Rougé family whose former name was des Rues is a family of the French nobility from Anjou and dating back to the 14th century. Some historians believe that the exiting Rougé family from Anjou comes from a Rougé family known since 1045, ruling over the lordship of Rougé in Brittany, but the link between the des Rues family and the former de Rougé family is not proven. Several members of this family have distinguished themselves as soldiers, churchmen, diplomats, and academics.
