Jean-Claude Courveille (15 May 1787 – 15 September 1866) was a Catholic priest who took the initiative of establishing the Marists, or Society of Mary, of which he was the first superior general. Following a scandal, he retired to Cistercian abbey of Notre-Dame of Aiguebelle, then Saint-Antoine-l'Abbaye and finally to the Benedictine Solesmes Abbey, where he died.
