Jean Céa (born 1932, Aïn Témouchent) is a French mathematician.

Born from Spanish immigrants in Algeria (he learnt French in school), he studied at the Ecole normale d'instituteurs d'Oran and the École normale supérieure de Saint-Cloud, obtaining his Ph.D. in 1964 with his dissertation Approximation variationnelle des problèmes aux limites. In his thesis he proved the Céa's lemma, an important result related to the error estimation in the Finite Element Method.

He is emeritus professor at the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis and member of the Academia Europaea. In 1975 he was awarded with the Poncelet Prize.
