Michel Particelli d'Émery (6 June 1596 in Lyon – 25 May 1650 in Paris) was the son of a banker in Lyon, France. Originally from an Italian family of Lucca, Italy, he was the counsellor of Cardinal-Duke of Richelieu. A portrait of him was changed by Théophile-Abraham Hamel to give a face to Samuel de Champlain.

According to the Archives Canada site, d'Émery's face was used to represent Champlain for more than a century and is still used by many historians to represent Champlain.{{Cite web |url=http://www.canadachannel.ca/champlain/index.php/Welcome_to_the_Samuel_de_Champlain_Portal |title=Samuel de Champlain Portal - the Champlain Portal |access-date=2011-01-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706170452/http://www.canadachannel.ca/champlain/index.php/Welcome_to_the_Samuel_de_Champlain_Portal |archive-date=2011-07-06 |url-status=dead}}
