Jean-Baptiste Alfred Perot (French: [pəʁo]; 3 November 1863 – 28 November 1925) was a French physicist.

Together with his colleague Charles Fabry he developed the Fabry–Pérot interferometer in 1899.[1][2]

The French Academy of Sciences awarded him the Janssen Medal for 1912.[3] The Royal Society awarded Fabry and Perot the Rumford medal in 1918.
