Jean Ango (an Italianized form of Jehan Angot) (1480–1551) was a Norman shipowner who provided ships to Francis I, King of France, for exploration of the globe.

He was one of the first French traders to challenge the monopoly of Spain and Portugal, in addition to trading with the eastern Mediterranean, the British Isles, and the Low Countries.

[1] His father (also named Jean Ango) sent two ships to Newfoundland in an early colonization attempt, including Jehan Denis and Thomas Aubert as captain of the Pensée.

After his father's death (probably in the final years of the reign of King Louis XII), the younger Jean Ango stopped any personal participation in trading voyages and settled in Dieppe with his inherited fortune.

When John III of Portugal confiscated one of his ships which carried plunder from captured vessels, Ango received the French king's permission to respond.
