Sixte Coupal dit la Reine (May 1, 1825 – June 22, 1891) was a farmer and political figure in Lower Canada and Quebec, Canada. He represented Napierville in the House of Commons of Canada from 1867 to 1872 and from 1874 to 1882 as a Liberal member.

He was born Sixte Coupal in Saint-Cyprien-de-Léry, Lower Canada in 1825. He served as justice of the peace and also as mayor of Napierville.
