Jean-Charles Prince (13 February 1804 – 5 May 1860) was a Canadian Roman Catholic priest, teacher, seminary administrator, editor, and Bishop of Saint-Hyacinthe, Lower Canada from 1852 to 1860.

Prince then became secretary to Jean-Jacques Lartigue, an auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Quebec and vicar general for Montreal.

Following the battles of Saint-Denis and Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu in 1837, the Séminaire de Saint-Hyacinthe sheltered for a few days 200 soldiers and six officers, while also hiding two Patriote leaders on the run.

His other duties included serving as a canon at the cathedral, and as chaplain to the Montreal Asylum for Aged and Infirm Women.

He helped to train the novices who were to form the Daughters of Charity, Servants of the Poor, and was chief chaplain to the Congregation of Notre-Dame and the Religious Hospitallers of St Joseph of the Hôtel-Dieu in Montreal.
