Jean-Sébastien Aubin (born July 19, 1977 in Montreal, Quebec) is a professional ice hockey goaltender for the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs. He was drafted in the third round of the 1995 NHL Entry Draft, 76th overall, by the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Aubin, played his junior career in the QMJHL, following in the footsteps of so many other Quebec-born goaltenders. He played for three different teams, spending the most time with Sherbrooke. His professional career started in the ECHL, but he quickly worked his way on to the Penguins' farm team, and then into the NHL itself.

Aubin played parts of six seasons with Pittsburgh, including one as their starting goaltender, before being signed to a two-way contract by the Maple Leafs. He played his first game with the Maple Leafs on March 26, 2006, making 36 saves and winning the game 4-3. He recorded a shutout in only his third game with the Maple Leafs, against the Buffalo Sabres in a 7-0 victory on home ice.
