Jean Renart, also known as Jean Renaut, was a Norman trouvère or troubadour from the end of the 12th century and the first half of the 13th century to whom three works are ascribed. Nothing else is known of him or his life. He is praised for his realism and his psychological insight.
Firmly attributed to him are two metrical romances, L'Escoufle ("The kite") and Guillaume de Dole, and a lai, Lai de l’Ombre.
