The de Roquefeuil-Blanquefort family previously named de Blanquefort is a French noble family from Aquitaine and Rouergue whose proven filiation began in 1393 when Jean of Blanquefort married Catherine de Roquefeuil-Anduze. Their son Antoine took his mother's name. The Roquefeuil-Blanquefort family gave several branches. The remaining two branches are Roquefeuil Monpeyroux and Roquefeuil Cahuzac. The Roquefeuil-Blanquefort family is a member of the Society of the Cincinnati.

Origin 
The proven filiation began of the Roquefeuil-Blanquefort family in 1393 when Jean of Blanquefort married Catherine de Roquefeuil-Anduze

La Chesnaye-Desbois writes in the 18th century that according to an ancient memoir Jean de Blanquefort could descend from the youngest member of the family de Roquefeuil who received the lordship of Blanquefort, but there is no evidence for this.

Louis de La Roque writes in Bulletin de la Société héraldique et généalogique de France (1879): In Guyenne there tere were three lordships whose names were Blanquefort, one in Médoc, one in Agenais and the third one near l'Isle-Jourdain. Each could have given its name to a family and it is difficult to know which one was the origin of the de Blanquefort family.
