Antoine Crozat (1655–1738) was a French financier and colonial administrator known for his role in the early economic development of French Louisiana. He became one of the first proprietors of the colony in 1712, investing heavily in its development and seeking to exploit its resources. Crozat's tenure was marked by challenges, including conflicts with Native Americans and the difficulties of managing the colony's economy. He eventually relinquished his proprietary rights in 1717, leading to direct royal control of Louisiana.
