Prince Pierre Grimaldi, duc de Valentinois, comte de Polignac (born Count Pierre Marie Xavier Raphael Antoine Melchior de Polignac) (24 October 1895 10 November 1964), was son of Count Maxence de Polignac (1857-1936) and his Mexican-born Spanish wife, Susana de la Torre y Mier (1858-1913).

He married civilly 18 March 1920 in Monaco Princess Charlotte of Monaco, née Charlotte Louise Juliette Louvet, the legitimated daughter of Louis II of Monaco and Marie Juliette Louvet.
