André Louis Marie Petit (13 December 1909 – 12 September 1999) was a French Army general. He was dismissed from the Army and imprisoned for participating in the 1961 Algiers putsch.[1] He was later amnestied and restored in his rank.

He also served as head of the Prime Minister's military cabinet from 1959 to 1960 under Michel Debré.
