Charles N'Tchoréré (15 November 1896 - 7 June 1940) was a French (naturalized in 1940) military commander who was shot by Germans in World War II. Born in Libreville to a notable Mpongwe family, he was a top student at the École Montfort, but had to abandon his studies at age 16 to work with his father in German Cameroon. In 1914, Charles took up a post in the governor's cabinet, then in 1916 enlisted in the Tirailleurs Sénégalais and fought in World War I, earning a promotion to sergeant. N'Tchoréré's son Jean-Baptiste was killed in action in the same area a week later.
