Jean-François Xavier Navarrot (Occitan: Joan Francés Xavièr Navarròt, IPA: [dʒuˈan fɾanˈses saˈβjɛɾ naβaˈrɔt]) was an Occitan language poet from Béarn.

He was born near Lucq-de-Béarn in a wealthy family and studied law and medicine in Paris before returning in Béarn where he spent the rest of his life.

He was a supporter of the republic and of progressivist ideas, which was humoristically stated in his poetry.
