Rémi Joseph Isidore Exelmans, 1st Comte Exelmans (13 November 1775 - 22 June 1852) was a distinguished French soldier of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, as well as a political figure of the following period. Born at Bar-le-Duc, he entered the army at 16, volunteering into the 3rd battalion of the French Revolutionary Army of the Meuse (1791). He became a lieutenant in 1797, and in 1798 was aide-de-camp to general Jean Baptiste Eblé, and in the following year to Jean-Baptiste Broussier. In his first campaign in the Italian Peninsula he greatly distinguished himself; and in April 1799 he was rewarded for his services by the rank of captain of dragoons. In the same year he took part with honor in the conquest of the Kingdom of Naples and was again promoted, and in 1801 he became aide-de-camp to Joachim Murat.
