'''Charles Fabvier''' ([[Greek language|Greek]] Φαβιέρος) was a French [[Philhellenism|philhellene]] commander of the Greek regular forces during the [[War of Independence]] ([[1821]] - [[1829]]).

Fabvier was born in [[1783]]. He studied in Paris and served in the French Army during the Napoleonic Wars, rising to the rank of Colonel by the time he was 30 years old.

After the Bourbon restoration, he left the army and went to England. In [[1823]] he came to [[Greece]] to aid in the [[War of Independence]] against the Ottoman Empire. In [[1825]], he was made commander of the 4th Regular Greek Army at [[Nafplio]]. In August [[1826]], he took part in the Battle of Chaidari which ended in defeat but later in that year, on [[November 30]], he managed to break through the siege of the [[Acropolis, Athens|Acropolis]] and supply the garrison defending it. On [[May 24]], [[1827]] he finally surrendered the stronghold to the Turks.

In [[1828]], after a sharp disagreement with Governor [[Ioannis Kapodistrias]], Fabvier left Greece for France where he took part in the July 1830 revolution.

Greece honoured Fabvier by making him an honourary Greek citizen in [[1842]] and awarding him the Great Cross of the Order of the Saviour (Μεγαλόσταυρος του Τάγματος του Σωτήρος).

Fabvier died in [[1855]].
