Jacques Pellegrin (12 June 1873—12 August 1944) was a French zoologist.
Pellegrin was born in Paris, and studied natural history. In 1894 he became assistant chairman of zoology at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, replacing Léon Vaillant (1834—1914).
He got his doctorates in medicine (1899) and science (1904). In 1908 he was named assistant chair.
After many missions abroad, he became sub-director of the museum in 1937, and replaced Louis Roule as the chairperson of herpetology and ichthyology.
He has published over 600 scientific books and articles and has discovered around 350 new species. He named a number of fishes from the family Cichlidae and had a number of species named in his honour, such as Geophagus pellegrini. [citation needed]
