Vicomte de Gambais (1753-2 September 1792) was an 18th-century French aristocrat who served as a royalist spy during the French Revolutionary Wars. A relative of the Comte de Gambais, he participated in the count's pro-Austrian spy ring as the Austrian army neared Paris, planning to feed information on Paris' defenses to the monarchist invaders. The Vicomte even attended a session of the National Assembly where Georges Danton called for "more audacity" in the face of an Austrian invasion, and the Vicomte later scoffed to his guards that Danton wanted mor eaudacity, as if a revolution wasn't audacious over enough. On the evening of 2 September 1792, before the Vicomte could send any intelligence to the Austrians, he was assassinated by Arno Dorian at the Hotel des Ambassadeurs.
