Louis Bazil (1695 – February 20, 1752) was a French merchant and militia officer in New France. Bazil traded between his home in Quebec and La Rochelle, as well as Martinique and Île Royale. He was well-connected; in 1736, he was granted a concession to administer a sealing station in Labrador. Having no capital of his own, he formed a company with François Havy, Jean Lefebvre, and Louis Fornel, but the enterprise was a failure and Bazil, unable to pay his share of the company's debts, lost his concession to his partners. When he died, his house was sold to pay his debtors. rdf:langString

Throughout the 1740s, he was hounded by creditors, but he escaped poverty when his connections secured him a writership at Domaine d’Occident. Even so, he needed to lease a portion of his home for use as a tavern in order to make ends meet. When he died, his house was sold to pay his debtors.
