Jean-Paul Garraud (born 27 February 1956) is a French politician serving as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) since 2019. A cofounder of The Popular Right, he is former member of the National Assembly, where he represented the 10th constituency of Gironde from 2002 to 2012.[1]

A magistrate by occupation, he was a member of the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) from 2002, later The Republicans (LR). Since 2019, he has been an Independent. In the 2019 European Parliament election, he was elected on the National Rally (RN) list along with other Independents, most notably Thierry Mariani. In 2021, Marine Le Pen announced she would appoint Garraud as Minister of Justice were she to win the 2022 presidential election.[2] He was re-elected to the European Parliament in 2024.[3]
