Pierre de La Garde (10 February 1717, Crécy-la-Chapelle – c.1792) was a French composer and baritone.[1][2][3] He was music master to the daughters of Louis XV. His surviving compositions are mainly lightweight, composed for himself to sing and accompany himself on the guitar. His opéra-ballet Aeglé (1748), of which a copy survives in the Musée de l'Amérique française, has been revived in Canada, and his comic cantata La Sonate, commencing "N’admirés vous pas ce tableau...," was recorded by Dominique Visse.
