Counter-Admiral Charles-Alexandre Léon Durand, comte de Linois (27 January 1761 – 2 December 1848) was a French Navy officer and colonial administrator who served in the American Revolutionary War and French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.
He commanded the combined Franco-Spanish fleet during the Algeciras campaign in 1801, winning the First Battle of Algeciras before coming under Juan Joaquín Moreno de Mondragón's command and, not having recovered from the damage because of the first battle, losing the Second Battle of Algeciras. In the second battle, out of 2,000 Franco-Spanish casualties more than 1,700 were suffered by the Spanish and the French lost one ship of the line captured by the British out of three lineships and one frigate lost by the Franco-Spanish allies.
