Jacques Nicolas Bussière (often simply J.N.B.) de Pouilly (Châtel-Censoir, Yonne, France, 7 July 1804 – 21 February 1875, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA), was a Franco-American architect. He was one of the most important architects in New Orleans during the nineteenth century, particularly known for his work for the Francophone population of the city, as well as the current St. Louis Cathedral on Jackson Square, and his designs for funereal architecture in the city's cemeteries.
