Louis III de Châtillon (died 15 July 1391) was a French nobleman of the House of Châtillon, styled Count of Dunois. He was the only legitimate son and heir of Guy II, Count of Blois, and Marie of Namur.[1]
Under the terms of his marriage settlement, Louis received the county of Dunois, Châteaudun and Romorantin as an advancement of inheritance from his father.[1] In 1386, he married Marie of Berry, daughter of John, Duke of Berry, but the marriage produced no children.[2]
Louis died before his father on 15 July 1391. His death without issue left Guy II without a direct heir, resulting in the later sale of the Blois inheritance to Louis I, Duke of Orléans.[1]
