Jean Vodaine (6 July 1921—8 August 2006), born Vladimir Kavčič, was a Franco-Slovenian poet, writer, typographer and painter who won many international awards.

Some of the Slovene emigrants ended up in France, most of them in Lorraine, where they preserved their cultural life through societies.

In a Lorrainian village, he founded the international literary magazine Dire, which was famous for its luxurious typographical design.

Vodaine's poetic oeuvre consists of more than ten poetry collections that are stylistically fairly diverse, and he would often sing Lorraine's praises.
