Yves Le Jan (born April 15, 1952 in Grenoble ) is a French mathematician who deals with probability theory and stochastic processes.

Le Jan studied from 1971 at the École normal supérieure and graduated in 1974 (Agrégation). In 1975 he became a researcher (Attaché de Recherche) at the CNRS (from 1987 Directeur de Recherche) and in 1979 he received his doctorate (Doctorat d'Etat).
