Jean Thore (13 October 1762, Montaut-les-Créneaux â 27 April 1823, Dax) was a French botanist and medical doctor who practiced medicine in the town of Dax.
In 1808 Bory de Saint-Vincent circumscribed the algae genus of Thorea in his honor; the genus Thoreochloa <small>Holub</small> also bears his name. This is a synonym of Arrhenatherum.
