Portalis, Jean Étienne Marie (zhäN ātyĕn` märē` pôrtälēs`), 1746–1807, French statesman and lawyer. A moderate, he was suspected of royalist sympathies during the French Revolution but was made a councilor of state and director of ecclesiastic affairs by Napoleon Bonaparte (later French Emperor Napoleon I).
