Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy (diocese of Clermont, 1601- Paris, 30 Oct 1675) was a French composer. He entered the Jesuit order as a novice in 1621 and from 1660 until his death directed the music at the convent of his order in Paris (see A. de Backer and others: Bibliothèque de la Compagnie de Jésus, ed. C. Sommervogel, iii, Brussels, 1892).

Besides a few vocal works in manuscript, three publications are known:

  • Musicalia varia ad usum ecclesiae (1650, lost)
  • Musica sacra ad vesperas aliasque in ecclesia preces for one, two and four voices with organ (1659)
  • Musica sacra ad varias ecclesiae preces … pars altera (1661), for four voices.
