'''Pascal Taché''', ({{IPA|fr|paskal taʃe}}; b. August 30, 1757 &ndash; d. June 5, 1830), was the son of [[Jean Taché]], a successful [[merchant]] and trader and the [[patriarch]] of the important Taché [[Canadian]] family.

He was born at the [[Quebec City|town of Quebec]] in 1757. In 1785, Pascal married the co-seigneur at [[Kamouraska, Quebec|Kamouraska]]. Five years later he received his mother-in-law's share of the [[seigneury]]. Pascal managed this seigneury through a period of good expansion as well as exercising his commission as a [[justice of the peace]]. He also had a brief foray into [[politics]] serving as an elected member of the [[Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada|House of Assembly]] of [[Lower Canada]] for Cornwallis district; he was elected in a 1798 by-election held after the death of the previously elected member.

Pascal's only son, Paschal Taché, inherited his mothers share of the seigneury upon her death in 1813. Father and son co-administered the properties until Pascal's death at Kamouraska in 1830.
