Jean Mercier, Latin Joannes Mercerus (Uzès ca. 1510 – 1570) was a French Hebraist.
Mercier was a pupil of the less known François Vatable, and succeeded Vatable as professor of Hebrew at the Collège Royal.[1] His students included Philippe du Plessis-Mornay, Zacharius Ursinus, Andrew Melville, and Pierre Martinius who became professor at La Rochelle.[2][3] Mercier served as Lecteur du Roi from 1546 onwards.[4]
Mercier fled to Venice because of his sympathies with Protestantism, but returned to France in 1570 following the conclusion of the third war of religion, only to succumb to the plague.
