Jacqueline Joubert, born Jacqueline Annette Édith Pierre (March 29, 1921 in Paris - January 8, 2005 in Neuilly-sur-Seine) was a presenter on French national television.
She was one of the first two announcers (with Arlette Accart) when television began in France after the Second World War. She was married to the journalist George de Caunes, was the mother of Canal+ TV star Antoine de Caunes, and the grandmother of the actress Emma de Caunes. She had also been the wife of Philippe Lagier.
Previously a theatre actress, she joined the French public television service (RTF, later TF1) on May 25, 1949 as a continuity announcer. Continuity announcers of the time appeared live and in-vision to announce later programmes and cover technical breakdowns.
In both 1959 and 1961 Joubert presented the Eurovision Song Contest from Cannes.
In 1966 she started producing and directing variety programmes for French television, moving on to youth television between 1970 and 1980.
From 1953-1960 she was married to Georges de Caunes, with whom she had one child.
