Jean-François Caujolle (born 3 March 1952) is a former professional tennis player from France. He reached a career-high ranking of No. 59 in singles on 31 September 1977.
Caujolle is most famous for being the only player to lose a set 6-0 in the 1973 Australian Open Men’s singles draw, a feat which earned him a spot on the “Wall of Shame” in the bleachers of Arthur Ashe Stadium. He retired from tennis in 1981 and became a coach in a Marseille tennis camp. In 1993, he created the ATP International Series Open 13 in Marseille, and became co-director, alongside Cédric Pioline, of the BNP Paribas Masters tournament of Paris in 2007. In 2008, he initiated, with Gilles Moretton and Jean-Louis Haillet, the creation of the Masters France exhibition tournament in Toulouse.
