Louis, dauphin de France (1729-1765), was the eldest and only surviving son of King Louis XV of France and Queen Marie Leszczynska, and thus heir apparent (dauphin) to the throne of France. The dauphin Louis died of tuberculosis at Fontainebleau in 1765 at the age of 36, while his father was still alive, thus never becoming king of France. His eldest surviving son Louis, duke of Berry, became the new dauphin, and later ascended the throne as Louis XVI at the death of Louis XV.
