Jules Germain Cloquet (December 18, 1790 - February 23, 1883) was a French physician and surgeon born and practicing medicine in Paris. His older brother, Hippolyte Cloquet (1787-1840) and his younger nephew Ernest Cloquet (1818-1855) were also physicians. In 1821 Jules Cloquet became one of the first members elected to the Académie Nationale de Médecine in Paris. In 1836, he was elected an honorary member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland.

Cloquet was known for his expertise as a surgeon, especially for his work with hernias. He was also the first to describe and identify the remnant of the embryonic hyaloid artery. This vestige was to become known as Cloquet's canal.

Cloquet was a talented artist; in his best-known work, Anatomie de l'homme, most of the 1,300 illustrations were drawn by him. He was the inventor of several surgical instruments, including arterial forceps. He was also interested in alternative medical practices such as mesmerism and acupuncture.
