Bishop Pierre-Adolphe Pinsoneault (also Pinsonnault or Pinsonault) (23 November 1815 – 30 January 1883) was born in Lower Canada and became a Roman Catholic priest in the Sulpician Order. Pinsoneault served as Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of London Ontario from 1856 – 1866 in an atmosphere of turbulence. There was an initial adverse reaction to a French-speaking bishop taking over the London church as the cathedral of the new diocese.
