Jean Meyer Barth (born February 8, 1942) is a French-Mexican historian and author, known for his writings on early 20th-century Mexican history.

[1] He has published extensively on the Mexican Revolution and Cristero War, the history of Nayarit, and on the caudillo Manuel Lozada.

He has done extensive research on the Cristero War and written books on the subject for the University of Cambridge and the Universidad de Guadalajara.

He has also published important works about Manuel Lozada, a nineteenth-century regional leader in Nayarit who fought for the rights of mestizo and indigenous peasants.

[3][4][5] Historian Eric Van Young reviewed Meyer's Esperando a Lozada, saying "the major essays are beautifully written, talky, strongly rhetorical, slightly wistful in tone, and intensely romantic and hardheaded at one and the same time, as with much of the best French annaliste history.
