Louis-Alexandre des Friches de Menneval (fl. 1687–1703) was a governor of Acadia from 1687–1690. Little is known of his early life. He did serve in the French army in France with distinction and won Turenne’s notice and praise. Due in large part to aggressive attacks on the British by Frontenac, Governor General of New France during the winter of 1689–90, the British colonies responded with a force under William Phips and Menneval gave up Port Royal without a fight.
