Jean de Létraz, pen name of Jean Félix Deletraz, (23 February 1897 - 3 June 1954) was a French playwright, spécialising in vaudeville, who authored nearly 118 plays, among which the most famous is Bichon written in 1935.

He was also a screenwriter and a dialoguist. A good number of his plays have been adapted to film. From 1942 until his death, he was managing director of the Théâtre du Palais-Royal where he directed both his own plays and other that were played in the theater. His wife, Simone de Létraz, takes over the direction of the theatre up to 1965 and will also stage some of his posthumous works.[1]
