Jacques Rohault, (1618 – 1672) was a French philosopher, physicist and mathematician.

Rohault was born in Amiens, the son of a wealthy wine merchant, and educated in Paris. Having grown up with the conventional scholastic philosophy of his day, he adopted and popularised the new Cartesian philosophy. His A System of Natural Philosophy (Les Entretiens sur la philosophie, 1672) became a standard textbook in many parts of Europe.
