Jeanne-Philiberte Ledoux (1767 – 12 October 1840) was a French painter. Ledoux was born in Paris and took lessons from Jean-Baptiste Greuze.[1] Her work was first seen in public in 1793, when she showed three paintings in the Salon: Painting at Rest, Little Girls at a Crossroads, and Concealed Love.[2] She is known for miniatures and portraits and exhibited in the Paris Salons from 1793 to 1819,[3] in which she was a frequent exhibitor.[2] Only one work attributed to Ledoux is signed, and none are dated.[2]

Ledoux died in Belleville.
