The Parthon de Von family is a Belgian noble family stemming from Châteauroux in France.
Its filiation goes back to Étienne Parthon, bourgeois of Châteauroux, born in 1575 and married in 1608 to Marguerite Bilhon who were the parents of Étienne Parthon, born and baptized on May 28, 1610 in Châteauroux. In the 16th century, its members held offices in the judiciary and in the Waters and Forests of the Duchy of Châteauroux. Sulpice Étienne Parthon (1714-1793), counsel and King's lawyer of the bailiwick of Châteauroux became in 1786 advocate general of the requests of the King's Hotel in Paris. The family was naturalized Belgian and received in 1845 in Belgium a confirmation of nobility and an ennoblement as needed. The surviving branch received the title of knight in 1845.
