Jean Baptiste Marie Joseph Solange Eugène Ripart (1814, Bessines – 17 October 1878, Bourges) was a French physician, botanist and mycologist.

During his career he worked as a physician in Bourges. He conducted investigations of cryptogams and performed research of the genera Rosa and Rubus. With Pierre Alfred Déséglise (Rosa) and Léon Gaston Genevier (Rubus), he described numerous botanical species.
