Charles-Henri Sanson, full title ''Chevalier Charles-Henri Sanson de Longval'' (February 15, 1739July 4, 1806) was the Royal Executioner of France during the reign of King Louis XVI, and High Executioner of the First French Republic.

== Family history ==
Charles-Henri Sanson was the fourth in a six-generation family dynasty of executioners. His great-grandfather, a soldier in the French royal army named Charles Sanson (1658–1695) of Abbeville, was appointed as Executioner of Paris in 1684.〔Sargent, Lucius Manlius (1855); (''Dealings with the Dead, Vol. II'' ), Dutton & Wentworth, MA, USA; p.635.〕 Upon his death in 1695, the Sanson patriarch passed the office to his son, also named Charles (1681- September 12, 1726). When this second Charles died, an official regency held the position until his young son, Charles John Baptiste Sanson (1719 - August 4, 1778), reached maturity. The third Sanson served all his life as High Executioner, and in his time fathered ten children. The eldest of his sons, Charles-Henri - known as "The Great Sanson" - apprenticed with his father for twenty years, and was sworn into the office on December 26, 1778.〔Croker, John Wilson (1857); (''Essays on the early period of the French Revolution'' ), John Murray, London; (p.570 ff. ) with enumerated list of all six generations of Sansons.〕
