Jean Métezeau
– 27 April 1600 in Dreux) was a 16th-century French architect.
He came from a family of master masons and general contractors from Dreux.
He was the son of Clément Métezeau and brother of Thibault Métezeau, also architects.
[1] A disciple of Philibert de l'Orme, Métezeau worked at Dreux as a master builder at the Église Saint-Pierre de Dreux [fr], where he reinterpreted gothic architecture in the spirit of what De l'Orme made at the Sainte-Chapelle de Vincennes.
After completing the Saint-Vincent tower, he probably built the south arm of the transept and its portal.
