Jean-Baptiste Giraud (1752 – 14 February 1830) was a Frenchsculptor.[1]

Giraud was born inAix-en-Provence. Made rich by his uncle's inheritance, he spent eight years inItaly, to study the Ancient Arts there. His works were only exhibited in the Salon of 1789 and he bought a town-house inplace Vendôme inParis, where he set up a free-entry museum for other artists. He died in Bouleaux (Fontenailles).
A piece of paper saying he was accepted at the Royal Academy for Painting and Sculpture,Achille blessé, is located in the Musée Granet inAix-en-Provence.
