The title of Duke of Audiffret-Pasquier (French: duc d'Audiffret-Pasquier) is a title of the French nobility.
The title was created in 1863 by Emperor Napoleon III by the reversion of the title of Duke of Pasquier (created for Étienne-Denis Pasquier by royal ordinance of 16 December 1844 and confirmed by letters patent of 3 February 1845) in favor of the holder's great-nephew (and adopted son), Gaston d'Audiffret.[1]
