Charles Amédée Simon du Buisson de Courson (French pronunciation: [ʃaʁl amede simɔ̃ dy bɥisɔ̃ kuʁsɔ̃]; born 2 April 1952) is a member of the National Assembly of France[1] a former member of the Auditors Court and a former 'rapporteur', and current secretary of its Finance Commission.[2] He represents the 5th district of the Marne department in the National Assembly, and is a member of the Union of Democrats and Independents as part of the Centrists.

Amongst his many interventions, he has opposed same-sex marriage, and has denounced the "illusion of security at airports". In 2023, he led a vote of no confidence against the Government of Élisabeth Borne over proposals to raise the state pension age by executive decree.[3]

Through his mother, De Courson is a grandson of the politician and Resistance hero Léonel de Moustier, and a descendant of Louis-Michel le Peletier, marquis de Saint-Fargeau.[3]
