Charles-Philippe Aubry or Aubri〔Lacoste, Elaine. ''Street Names and Picayune Histories of New Orleans (1997''), p.6〕 (d. February 17, 1770) was a French soldier and colonial administrator, who served as Acting Governor of Louisiana twice in the 18th century.
== Career ==
Aubry began his military career in 1742, when he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Lyonnais Infantry Regiment. After serving in the War of the Austrian Succession as an officer of grenadiers, Aubry left France to take a commission as a captain of colonial troops in Louisiana. 〔Dawson, Joseph G. () "The Louisiana Governors: From Iberville to Edwards" pp. 41 - 43〕 During the French and Indian War, he was the commander of the French forces at the Battle of Fort Ligonier.〔Harpster, John W. () "Crossroads: Descriptions of Western Pennsylvania, 1720 - 1829" pg. 42〕 He was later captured and imprisoned by the British after the French defeat at the Battle of La Belle-Famille.〔Peckham, Howard H. () "The Colonial Wars" pg. 183〕 After his release, he was made a Chevalier de St. Louis and military commander of Louisiana.
Aubry succeeded Jean-Jacques Blaise d'Abbadie as colonial governor of Louisiana in 1765 after d'Abbadie died in office. During his term, he met with members of the exiled Acadian community under Beausoleil and encouraged them to settle in the Attakapas Territory, where there were abundant grasslands available for development of a local cattle industry.〔Brasseaux, Carl A. () "The Founding of New Acadia" pg. 74〕〔Brasseaux, Carl A. () "Acadiana: Louisiana's Cajun Country"〕 Aubry was followed as governor by the Spaniard Antonio de Ulloa, and served as acting governor again after the latter's expulsion in the Louisiana Rebellion of 1768. After the arrival of a replacement Spanish governor Alejandro O'Reilly, Aubry reportedly provided him with the names of some of the conspirators in the rebellion.〔Cowan, Walter Greaves, and McGuire, Jack B. () "Louisiana Governors: Rulers, Rascals, and Reformers" pg. 35〕 Soon afterwards, Aubry left for France on the ''Père de Famille'', but died in a shipwreck within sight of the French coast.〔Beers, Henry Putney () "French and Spanish Records of Louisiana" pg. 16〕
In 1920, the city of New Orleans named a street after him (Aubry Street), one block from D'Abadie Street.〔Asher, Sally () "Hope and New Orleans: A History of Crescent City Street Names" pg. 36〕
