The École royale du génie de Mézières (Royal Engineering School of Mézières) was a military engineering school in what is now Charleville-Mezieres, France. It was founded in 1748 on a proposal by the comte d'Argenson, secretary of state for war, and secrétaire d'État à la Guerre et de Nicolas de Chastillon, commander of the citadel at Charleville-Mézières, with the aim of modernizing the town's fortifications. It trained 542 military engineers in total. Since 1800 its buildings have housed the Hôtel du Département des Ardennes, which manages the Ardennes department.
