Jean Leloup (born May 14, 1961) is a Quebecois singer-songwriter. Sometimes known as "Johnny the Wolf" in Anglophone contexts, Jean Leloup's colourful personality and unique musical style have made him a star in the francophone rock community.

Born Jean Leclerc in Sainte-Foy, Quebec, he grew up in Togo and Algeria where he was influenced by traditional African rhythms. He appeared on the Quebec music scene in the 1980s, making waves with his provocative lyrics – in his song "1990", he compares the high-tech actions of Desert Storm to the sexual activities of himself and his girlfriend. His 1990 album "L'amour est sans pitié" was a hit outside of Quebec, licensed in France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Japan.
