Jean-François Cars (16 October 1661 – 30 August 1738) was a French engraver, printer, publisher, and printseller from Lyon, France. Active during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, Cars operated workshops in both Lyon and Paris, producing portraits, book illustrations, and theses for Jesuit colleges. He trained numerous apprentices and established a multi-generational legacy in engraving, notably as the father of Laurent Cars.
