Bust of Claude Godart d'Aucourt by Gros.
Claude Godard d'Aucourt (1716–1795) was an 18th-century French writer, marquis of Plancy.
He became a fermier général in 1754 and Receveur général des finances in Alençon in 1785. He did not migrate during the French Revolution and managed to retain a portion of his non manorial estate. The librettist Claude Godard d'Aucourt de Saint-Just was his son.
