Jean Nicolas Grou (23 November 1731 – 13 December 1803) was a French Roman Catholic Jesuit priest, teacher, translator and mystic and spiritual writer. After the suppression of the Jesuit order he sought sanctuary in the Dutch Republic. He returned to France, but at the outbreak of the French Revolution he escaped to England where he gained refuge with a wealthy English household in Dorset whose house chaplain he became while continuing his literary output.
