Jacques Flouret (8 September 1907 – 4 October 1973) was a multitalented French athlete who won three medals in the pentathlon and javelin throw at the Student World Championships of 1927–1928. He finished 28th in the long jump at the 1928 Summer Olympics. Between 1930 and 1938 he played 25 international games as a shooting guard for the French basketball team and scored 48 points. Those 25 games included the opening match France-Estonia at the 1936 Summer Olympics, and the EuroBasket 1937 tournament, where France won the bronze medal.

After retiring from sports in 1938 he had a long career as a sports official in France.
