Hugues Randin (1628  c. 1680) was a French engineer in the employ of Governor Louis de Buade de Frontenac. He was also a cartographer and, in the practice of the day, an architect on at least one project. The first we know of Hugues Randin is his arrival in New France in 1665 as part of the Carignan-Salieres Regiment. The Carignan-Salieres Regiment was a Piedmont French military unit formed by merging two other regiments in 1659.
