'''Jean (Jehan) Rolin''' (1408–1483) was a French bishop and Cardinal.
His father, Nicolas Rolin, was ducal Chancellor of Burgundy, and lord of Authumes. Jean became a Cardinal in 1448, created by Pope Nicholas V, as part of diplomatic engagement between the Duchy of Burgundy and the Papacy, tending against France.<ref>Richard Vaughan, ''Philip the Good'' (2002 edition), p. 215.</ref>
He was bishop of Chalon-sur-Saône in 1431, and bishop of Autun in 1436.
