Jean Richafort (c. 1480 – c. 1547) was a Netherlandish composer of the Renaissance.

He was probably born in Hainaut, and his native language appears to have been French. According to the poet Ronsard, Richafort studied with Josquin des Pres, an association further borne out by the fact that he composed a requiem “in memoriam Josquin Despres“. Richafort served as choir master at St. Rumbold’s Cathedral in Mechelen between 1507 and 1509, and at St. Giles’ church in Bruges between 1542 and 1547.  At some time between these dates he was associated with the French royal chapel, since some of his music is for official occasions connected with Louis XII, and there is some evidence he may have been in Brussels in 1531 in the service of Queen Mary of Hungary, who was regent there.
