Jacques Nicolas Bellin (1703 in Paris - 1772 in Versailles) was a French hydrographer, geographer, and member of the French intellectual group called the philosophes. He was hydrographer of France's hydrographic office, member of the Académie de Marine and of the Royal Society of London. Over a 50-year career, he produced many maps of particular interest to the Ministère de la Marine. His maps of Canada and of French territories in North America (New France, Acadia, Louisiana) are particularly valuable.
