Noël Breux (March 4, 1773 – June 9, 1861) was a farmer and political figure in Lower Canada. He represented Kent in the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada from 1814 to 1816.
The Province of Lower Canada was a British colony on the lower Saint Lawrence River and the shores of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence (1791–1841). It covered the southern portion of the current-day Province of Quebec, Canada, and the Labrador region of the modern-day Province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada was the lower house of the bicameral structure of provincial government in Lower Canada until 1838. The legislative assembly was created by the Constitutional Act of 1791. The lower house consisted of elected legislative councillors who created bills to be passed up to the Legislative Council of Lower Canada, whose members were appointed by the governor general.
He was born in Chambly, the son of Noël Breux dit Lagiroflée, formerly a soldier in the French army, and Angélique Poirier. Breux served as a captain in the militia and as a commissioner for the summary trial of small causes. He did not run for reelection to the assembly in 1816. He was married twice, first to Marie-Thérèse Lagus in 1794 and then to Josephte Pallardie in 1831. Breux died in Chambly at the age of 88.
Chambly is an off-island suburb in southwestern Quebec, Canada, about 25 km (16 mi) to the south east of Montreal.
