Jean-Eudes Dubé, PC (born November 6, 1926) is a former Canadian politician.
Dubé first ran for a seat in the Canadian House of Commons as a Liberal in a 1961 by-election, but was defeated in the New Brunswick riding of Restigouche—Madawaska. He was elected from the same riding in the 1962 general election, and was subsequently re-elected on five occasions. (From 1968 on, he was elected from the riding of Restigouche.)
Following the 1968 election, Dubé joined the Cabinet of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau as Minister of Veterans Affairs. In 1972 he was appointed Minister of Public Works.
Dubé was dropped from Cabinet following the 1974 election, and retired from Parliament the next year.
