Jean-Louis Ferrand (December 13, 1758 – November 7, 1808) was a French Army officer and colonial administrator who served as the governor of Santo Domingo from 1803 to 1808. Serving in the American Revolutionary War and French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, he joined the Saint-Domingue expedition in 1801, which unsuccessfully attempted to restore French rule and slavery in the colony of Saint-Domingue. Unwilling to capitulate to the Indigenous Army, Ferrand retreated into the neighboring Captaincy General of Santo Domingo in 1803 and began serving as its governor, successfully resisting a Haitian invasion in 1805. By 1808, the Peninsular War led to an anti-French revolt breaking out in Santo Domingo, and Ferrand committed suicide during the Battle of Palo Hincado, bringing an end to French rule in the colony.
