François-Xavier-Antoine Labelle (November 24, 1833 – January 4, 1891) was a Roman Catholic priest and the person principally responsible for the settlement (or "colonization") of the Laurentians in the province of Quebec. He is also referred to as "Curé Labelle" and sometimes, the "King of the North."
