Jean-Marie Domenach (; 13 February 1922 – 5 July 1997) was a French writer and intellectual. He was noted as a left-wing and Catholic thinker.

Domenach was born in Lyon, where he studied at the Lycée du Parc. In 1949, he became an editor of ''Esprit'', the literary and political journal of personalism and non-conformism founded in 1932 by Emmanuel Mounier. In 1956, Domenach became chief editor. He voluntarily retired from ''Esprit'' in 1977, at 54, and began writing and teaching at the university level. Opposed to torture during the Algerian War, he also held a meeting denouncing the 1961 Paris massacre. He died in Paris in 1997, aged 75. Provided by Wikipedia
