Carl Anthony Brasseaux (pseudonym: Antoine Bourque; born August 19, 1951)[1][3] is an American historian and educator. He specialized in French Colonial North America, particularly of Louisiana and the Cajun people. He helped to pioneer the field of Cajun history, and his published works on this topic represent the first serious, in-depth examination of the history of the ethnic group.

He taught at University of Louisiana at Lafayette, from 1975 until 2010.[4]
