Jean-Pierre Lévy (28 May 1911 – 15 December 1996) was a French Jewish industrialist and Second World War resistance leader.
He worked in the textile industry before being called up as a reserve officer ahead of the war.
After the fall of France Lévy joined the resistance and in 1941 co-founded the Franc-Tireur movement.
He led the organisation and edited its newspaper.
After meeting with Jean Moulin he agreed to help co-ordinate resistance movements in France and went on to join the directorate of the Mouvements unis de la Résistance (MUR).
Lévy left France in April 1943 to meet resistance leaders and Charles de Gaulle in London and Algiers.
He returned in July and was arrested in October.
Lévy was freed by a MUR raid and joined the National Council of the Resistance.
He was present at the August 1944 liberation of Paris.
