Jean Crespon (14 October 1797, Nîmes – 1 August 1857) was a French zoologist and naturalist. Born into a poor family, he worked as a barber, soldier, and poet before becoming a taxidermist and turning to natural history. In 1840 he published his ''Ornithologie du Gard et des pays circonvoisins'' (Ornithology of Gard and Environs), a book that covered 321 species of birds. The book earned the praise of naturalists that included Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (1805-1861). In 1844 Crespon published the two-volume ''La Faune méridionale'' (Mediterranean Wildlife), in which he described 27 new species. Crespon's natural history collections passed to the ''Muséum d'histoire naturelle'' in Nîmes on his death. == Works about Jean Crespon == * "Nos ornithologistes.
