Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville (1661–1706), was a soldier, ship captain, explorer, colonial administrator, knight of the order of Saint-Louis, adventurer, privateer, trader, and founder of the French colony of Louisiana.

He battled the English in the French-English war over Canada. In 1697, when three English Vessels attacked his ship, in Hudson Bay, he sank one, boarded another and then captured the English outpost at York Fort.
