Jean-Louis Tournadre (born November 17, 1958) is a French former Grand Prix motorcycle road racer. He became France's first FIM road racing world champion when he clinched the 1982 250cc title aboard a Yamaha TZ250.
Despite only having one victory to his rival Anton Mang's five victories, Tournadre amassed enough podium results to win the championship by one point. His only victory came at the French Grand Prix held at Nogaro where most of the top riders, including Mang, went on strike to protest the lack of safety at the circuit.
