Jean-Baptiste-Auguste de Villoutreix de Faye (3 November 1739 – 12 March 1792) was a French prelate of the Catholic Church. He served as the last Bishop of the Diocese of Oloron in France.[1][2]

He was born in Flavignac in the Limousin region of France,[1][3] a member of the Villoutreix de Faye family who derived their name from the Castle "Faye" in the parish of Flavignac (Haute-Vienne).[citation needed]
