Joan-Lluís Lluís (Perpignan, 1963) is an award-winning French Catalan writer. His works include five novels and a collection of essays entitled Conversa amb el meu gos sobre França i els francesos (Conversation with my Dog about France and the French, 2002). This last work, which Lluís himself describes as a pamphlet,^[1] focuses on the precarious linguistic situation of the French Catalans.

He is co-author, with musician Pascal Comelade, of a manifesto published in 1998 by linguistic and cultural activists from French Catalonia.^[2]

His 2004 novel El dia de l'ós (The Day of the Bear) won the prestigious Joan Crexells Prize.
