Jean-Pierre Mignard (born 22 March 1951) is a prominent French lawyer, lecturer, political advisor and author born in Saint-Cloud (Hauts-de-Seine) in 1951. He is most noted for his work as a lawyer and for his political involvement in France. Mignard is a longtime friend and informal advisor to former French President François Hollande and the godfather of two of his children. As chairman of the ''Haute Autorité pour les Primaires'', he oversaw the organization of the French Socialist Party presidential primary of 2011, which was the first-ever major party open presidential primary to be held in the country. In 2016, just one day after François Hollande ruled out a second presidential run, Mignard was among the first prominent personalities of the left to endorse Emmanuel Macron for President and subsequently became one of the Macron campaign's media surrogates.
