Jacques Cambessèdes (1799–1863) was a French botanist who was born in Montpellier.

In March-June 1825, Cambessèdes performed investigations involving flora of the Balearic Islands. From this expedition he published Excursions dans les iles Baleares (1826) and Enumeratio plantarum quas in insulis Balearibus collegit (1827).

He has several botanical species named after him, including Paeonia cambessedesii, a peony native to Majorca.

The standard author abbreviation Cambess. is used to indicate this individual as the author when citing a botanical name.^[1]
