Jean Jacques Nicolas Huot (born February 12, 1790 in Paris — died May 19, 1845 in Versailles) was a French geographer, geologist and naturalist.

Member of several learned societies, he was a founding member of the Société géologique de France (1830). He authored various works on natural history (about fossils of animals and plants), geology and geography. He completed the "A system of universal geography" of Malte-Brun in 1829, which was left unfinished after the death of the Danish scholar in 1826. He contributed to Suites à Buffon, published by the library Roret on geology. Late in his life, he was the curator of the library of the city of Versailles.
