Jean Clairin (born November 13, 1876 in Nîmes , † August 26, 1914 in Thun-l'Évêque ) was a French mathematician who dealt with differential equations.

Clairin studied at the Ecole Normale Superieure , was a student of Édouard Goursat and received his doctorate in Paris in 1902 at the Sorbonne ( Sur les transformations de Baecklund ). He was a professor at the University of Lille (then Faculté de Sciences). Clairin fell right at the start of World War I in Cambrai .

He is known for developing a method for the construction of Bäcklund transformations , which was applied in the theory of solitons .
