Jean de Rovroy (died 10 July 1461) was a French theologian and priest. He defended the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception at the Council of Basel in 1433–1436. Three of his writings on this theme survive, all in Latin, but he is best known for his translation into French of the Latin Strategemata of Frontinus for King Charles VII of France.
