Jacques Lebrun (20 September 1910 – 14 January 1996) was a French sailor. He competed at the 1932, 1936, 1948, 1952 and 1960 Olympics and won a gold medal in the snowbird event in 1932.[1] He missed the 1956 Games for financial reasons.
Lebrun was a boat designer and eventually became technical director of the national sailing association. During World War II he helped to hide a significant part of the Louvre collection from the Germans.[2]
