Jean-Louis Michel (born 1945) is a French oceanographer and engineer.
He discovered subsea intervention in 1969 with the French Navy as an officer at the Groupe des Bathyscaphes headed by Captain Georges Houot. In 1985, Jean-Louis Michel (along with marine geologist Robert Ballard) led a team of French and American explorers who found the wreckage of the RMS Titanic.
Robert Ballard mentions in an interview with Forbes magazine that Jean-Louis Michel rarely gets enough credit for co-discovering the Titanic.
