Jean Adolphe Louis Robert Flavigny (1880-1948) was a French general.[1]

In May 1940, during the Battle of France, Wehrmacht troops crossed the Meuse near Sedan.

Flavigny hesitated to command the beginning of a counterattack during the Battle of Sedan and the French troops lost the battle.

He was imprisoned in Colditz from 19 January 1945.
