Louise Antoinette Lannes, Duchesse de Montebello, was a French courtier, who served as the dame d'honneur, or Mistress of the Robes, to Empress Marie Louise, the Consort of Napoleon I, Emperor of the French of France. She was the daughter of senator and financier François Scholastique, Comte de Guéhéneuc.
She was married on September 16, 1800, at Dornes to General Jean Lannes (1769–1809), 1st Duc de Montebello, as his second wife. She was highly respected in Parisian society and held the position of dame d'honneur from 1810 until 1814. The duchesse accompanied Empress Marie Louise to Austria following the fall of Napoleon, but she was replaced and returned home, to France.
A published death notice states:
"July 8th, at Paris, the Duchess de Montebello.—Her funeral obsequies took place at the church of the Foreign Missions. The emperor was represented on the occasion by the Duke de Conegliano. Marshals Magnan and Canrobert were present, as well as a crowd of persons of rank and note. The sons of the deceased were the chief mourners. After the funeral service the body was removed to the cemetery at Montmartre, where the family burial-place is situated."
