Auguste Georges Schmutz, called Jean Loysel, (23 October 1889[1] – 29 December 1962) was a 20th-century French composer and lyricist.

He is mostly known for the duet he formed in the 1920s and 1930s with Georges Matis as lyricist or composer.[2]

After the war, he also collaborated (as a lyricist) with Rolf Marbot (1906-1974), Bert Reisfeld's alter ego.[2]

He also worked with Henri Salvador.
