Jean-Pierre Saint-Ours (April 4, 1752 in Geneva, Switzerland- April 6, 1809 in Geneva) was a Swiss painter.

Jean-Pierre began studying with his father Jacques (1708- 1773) who was himself a renown painter. He continued his studies in Paris, in 1769, with Joseph-Marie Vien. In 1780, he obtained the Prix de Rome. Some of his works may be seen in several museums, including the Louvre[1], in Paris, and the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire of Geneva.
