Jacques Pucheran (1817 - 1894) was a French zoologist. Pucheran accompanied the expedition on the Astrolabe between 1837 and 1840, under the command of Jules Dumont d'Urville, with fellow-naturalists Jacques Bernard Hombron and Honoré Jacquinot. On his return he contributed the ornithological section (with Jacquinot) of Voyage au Pôle sud et dans l'Océanie sur les corvettes L'Astrolabe et La Zélée (1841-54).
