Jacqueline Caurat (born 23 July 1929) is a retired French television presenter and journalist.
After some movie appearances during the 1940's and 1950's, she became in 1953 one of the speakerine on the ORTF first channel.
She is known as the presenter and coproducer of Télé-Philatélie, a 22-year running TV show about philately. She did this show with her husband Jacques Mancier. She interviewed great philatelists like Rainier III of Monaco, and stamp designers or engravers (Jean Cocteau drew the profile of his new Marianne series in the show with Caurat's lipstick).
In 1967, she wrote a book about postal history and stamp collecting : Le Monde merveilleux des timbres-poste whose preface was written by Lucien Berthelot, president of the Fédération internationale de philatélie.
