Louis-Israël Côté dit Fréchette

Louis-Israël Fréchette (né Côté; May 6, 1848 – July 17, 1923) was a merchant and political figure in Quebec. He represented Mégantic in the House of Commons of Canada from 1882 to 1884 and from 1891 to 1896 as a Conservative member. His name appears as Louis-Israël Côté alias Fréchette in English sources.

He was born in Saint-Ferdinand, Canada East to Louis Coté and was educated there. Fréchette married Léda Bernier. He served as postmaster and mayor of St-Ferdinand d'Halifax. His election to the House of Commons in 1882 was declared void in 1884 and François Langelier was elected in the by-election which followed. Fréchette ran unsuccessfully for reelection to the House of Commons in 1896, 1900, 1904 and 1908.
