Victor-François, 8th duc de Broglie

Victor-François Marie Léon, 8th duc de Broglie (b. 25 March 1949), is a French aristocrat and current holder of the title duc de Broglie.

Eldest son of the French politician Jean de Broglie (19211976), Victor-François de Broglie acceded to the ducal title on the death without heir of his distant cousin, the Nobel Prize–winning physicist Louis, 7th duc de Broglie in 1987. (Victor-François's great-grandfather, Victor, 5th duc de Broglie, was Louis de Broglie's father, and there was no other surviving heir to the title.)

The duc de Broglie is active in local right-wing politics in the Eure, and has served as mayor of the ducal seat of Broglie there.
