Jean-Pierre Lehman (10 August 1914 – 26 February 1981) was a French paleontologist who specialized on tetrapods and actinopterygians.

Visits to Sweden brought him into contact with Erik Stensiö at the Museum of Natural History of Stockholm where he worked on the vertebrates of the Upper Devonian of Scania in 1936–37.

[1] His thesis on the scales of thelodonts and acanthodians was criticized and led to a restudy of the material by J.M.J.

He edited Les annales de paléontologie and was elected fellow of the French academy of sciences in 1979.

[5] He also named several other genera of fossil fish, among others: Errolichthys, Jacobulus, Nielsenia, Oervigia, Paraceratodus, Piveteauia, Sakamenichthys, Soederberghia, Stensionotus and Thomasinotus.
