Charles Henri Frédéric Dumont de Sainte-Croix (27 April 1758 – 8 January 1830) was a French zoologist.

A lawyer by trade, he was also an enthusiastic amateur ornithologist.[1] Between 1817 and 1818, he described a number of Javanese bird species discovered by Jean Baptiste Leschenault de la Tour;[1] he also contributed articles on ornithology to the Dictionnaire des sciences naturelles, edited and published from 1816 to 1830 by F. G. Levrault.[2]

Dumont de Sainte-Croix's daughter, Clémence married René-Primevère Lesson, a surgeon and noted French naturalist.[3]

His younger brother, André Dumont was elected to the Convention during the French Revolution.

He was honoured in 1813, in the naming of Dumontia, which is a genus of red algae belonging to the family Dumontiaceae.[4]
