Jean-Elmouhoub Amrouche (February 7, 1906 in Ighil Ali, Algeria-April 16, 1962 in Paris, France) was a French-language Algerian poet. Born in Kabylie in Algeria, Amrouche emigrated with his family to Tunisia while still young. He later moved to Paris for studies.

Amrouche is considered the most important poet for the development of francophone literature in Algeria.

He was the older brother of fellow writer Taos Amrouche.
