Louis de Bourbon, called the Good (c. 1337 – 1410), was the third Duke of Bourbon. He was also the Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis and Lord of Beaujeu.

Louis was the son of Peter de Bourbon^[1] and Isabella de Valois.^[2] His mother was the sister to King Philip VI of France. He inherited the duchy after his father Duke Peter I died at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356.^[3]

In 1390, Louis launched the Barbary Crusade against the Hafsids of Tunis, in conjunction with the Genoese. Its objective was to suppress piracy based in the city of Mahdia, but the siege was unsuccessful.^[4] Louis died at Montluçon in 1410, at the age of 73.

On 19 August 1371 Louis married Anne of Auvergne (1358–1417),^[2] Countess of Forez and daughter of Beraud II, Dauphin of Auvergne, and his wife the Countess of Forez. They had:

1. Catherine of Bourbon (b. 1378),^[2] d. young
