Jean-Louis Dupont (born 17 March 1956) is a French former rugby union international.

Dupont was born in Beaumont-de-Lomagne.

A hooker, Dupont formed a front row at SU Agen made up entirely of farmers. Along with France prop Daniel Dubroca and future international Jean-Louis Tolot, the three were known as the "première ligne des agriculteurs" ("frontline of farmers") and contributed to SU Agen's championship-winning side in 1982.

Dupont was a regular reserve hooker for France during the 1980s, behind the established Philippe Dintrans. His only opportunity came in the 1983 Five Nations, gaining a cap in France's win over Scotland at the Parc des Princes.

Since 2008, Dupont has served as mayor of the town of Faudoas.
