Jean Chrétien, Baron Baud (1789–1859) was Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1833 until 1836.

Baud was born in The Hague on 23 October 1789. Originally a civil servant and politician who served under William I and William II of the Netherlands, Baud zoomed through the ranks of the civil service until he reached the post of Vice President of the Council for the Dutch East Indies. Following Johannes van den Bosch, as acting Governor-General and, later, Minister for the Colonies, he was an avid defender of the Dutch Colonial policy, the cultuurstelsel, which required a quota of profitable crops to be dedicated to export.

He was succeed in 1836 by Dominique Jacques de Eerens. He became Minister of the Marine in 1840 and Minister for the Colonies from that year until 1848. After 1848 he was for a few years a conservative member for Rotterdam of the House of Representatives. He died in the Hague on 27 June 1859 from unknown causes.
