Max Jean (born 27 July 1943)[1] is a French former racing driver who won the Formule France championship in 1968.

[4] In 1970 he parted company from GRAC and secured funding from the lubricants manufacturer Motul to run a works-supported Tecno car.

His involvement with the Williams team gave Jean the opportunity to participate in his home Formula One event that year: the 1971 French Grand Prix at Paul Ricard in July.

Jean qualified the 701 in 23rd place in the 24 car field, but started in 22nd position following the withdrawal of March works driver Nanni Galli.

In 1973 Jean re-entered the French Formula Three championship, driving an Automobiles Martini car for the ORECA team.
