Marquis Boniface Antoine de Castellane (12 May 1844 – 10 December 1917) was a French aristocrat, most notable as deputy for Cantal and as father of Boni de Castellane.
He served in the Franco-Prussian War under marshal Bazaine and was imprisoned with him in Metz whilst prince Frederick-Charles of Prussia (one of his cousins by marriage) celebrated the establishment of the German Empire at the Château de Rochecotte, which belonged to Boniface's mother.

Anna Gould, Duchess of Talleyrand, 83, daughter of Rail Tycoon Jay Gould and one of the first of the American heiresses whose marriages infused new blood—and new money—into Europe's sagging aristocracy; of a heart attack; in Paris. Wed to Count Boniface de Castellane in 1895, Anna Gould divorced him after an 11-year phantasmagoria of pink marble palaces and $150,000 parties during which the Parisian gay blade skated through more than half of her $13.5 million inheritance. Two years later, she wed the fifth Duke of Talleyrand, a descendant of the wily French diplomatist whose machinations shaped post-Napoleonic Europe, lived with him for 29 years until his death in 1937.
