Jean Leclerc (born May 14, 1961) is a Québécois singer-songwriter from Canada. Until 2006, he was known as Jean Leloup (which he likes to translate to "John the Wolf" in English). He is known for his colourful personality and unique musical style in the francophone rock community.

Born 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, and was released in the rest of Canada, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Japan.
