Jean-Baptiste-Antoine Suard (15 January 1732 in Besançon – 20 July 1817 in Paris) was a French journalist, translator and man of letters during the Age of Enlightenment.

[2] He edited Le journal étranger from 1760 to 1762 and La gazette littéraire d'Europe from 1764 to 1766.

Suard was on intimate terms with the philosophes and regularly attended the salon of Baron d'Holbach, although he seems to have eschewed their more radical ideas.

He was closely acquainted with the Marquis de Condorcet, having stayed in residence with him back in 1772.

[3] In 1774, he was made a member of the French Academy, and later a state censor.
