Jean Bouin

Jean Bouin (December 20, 1888 – September 29, 1914) was a French athlete. He competed at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London.

In the 1500 metres, Bouin placed second of three in his initial semifinal heat and did not advance to the final. His time was 4:17.0.

Bouin was killed in action near Xivray, Meuse, 10 miles east of Saint-Mihiel.

The Stade Jean-Bouin in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, home of the Stade Francais rugby union club, was named after him. The French government made a stamp with his picture on it and many games have been held in his honor
