Mont-Blanc was the name of a département of the First French Empire. It was named after Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Western Europe. It was formed in 1792, when the Savoy region, (part of the Kingdom of Sardinia) was occupied by the French.

In 1798 the northern part of the Mont-Blanc département was added to the new Léman département. After the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1814, the Kingdom of Sardinia was restored.

The capital of Mont-Blanc département was Chambéry. The département (after 1798) was subdivided into the arrondissements of Chambéry, Annecy, Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne and Moûtiers. Its territory corresponds with the present French départements Savoie and Haute-Savoie (partly).
