Jean Béraud (January 12th, 1849 Saint Petersbourg - October 4th,1935 Paris) was a French impressionist painter.

His father was a sculptor and was probably working on the site of Saint-Isaac Cathedral when Jean was born.

Béraud, a Léon Bonnat's disciple, exhibited at the Salon for the first time in 1872, but he only gained some recognition in 1876, with his « On the way back from the funeral ». He painted many scenes of Parisian daily life during the Belle Époque. He received the Légion d'honneur medal in 1894.
