Jean Haudry (1934- ). A linguist, a founder of the Institut d'études indo-européennes at the University of Lyon. Under his leadership the Institut published, between 1982 and 1998, the Études indo-européennes. He was also a member of the "Scientific Council" of the Front National of Jean-Marie Le Pen. Soon after his retirement, the French Ministry of Education appointed a commission to investigate whether Haudry's institute was not too closely associated with the extreme political right. The work of the commission was mooted when Haudry's successor, Jean-Paul Allard dissolved the institute and reconstituted it as an association free from state supervision.

Bruce Lincoln calls Haudry an 'excellent linguist' and mentions that Haudry supports the Arctic hypothesis of the origin of Indo-Europeans.
