Pierre-Alexandre Jean (born 8 March 2001) is a French racing driver who last competed for AF Corse in the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup.
Career Jean made his single-seater debut in 2016, racing in the FFSA Academy-centrally run French F4 Championship. After taking his maiden podiums at Pau and Lédenon, Jean scored his first series win and only one of the season at Magny-Cours en route to an eighth-place points finish. Returning to the series for 2017, Jean started the season with a double podium at Nogaro, followed up by his only win of the season in race two at Monza. In the following five rounds, Jean only finished on the overall podium in race one at Spa, to end the season fourth in points. Towards the end of 2017, Jean raced in the final three rounds of the V de V Challenge Monoplace for RC Formula, in which he won all three races at Estoril.
The following year, Jean joined Ginetta-fielding CMR to race in both the French GT4 Cup and GT4 European Series. After scoring one podium in the first two rounds, Jean switched to an Alpine A110 for the rest of the year, scoring wins at Magny-Cours and Le Castellet to end the year third in the Pro-Am standings. It was a similar case in the latter, in which the switch happened ahead of the Spa round, in which he won race two en route to an eighth-place points finish in the Silver class standings. At the end of the year, Jean raced in the GT4 International Cup for the same team, winning the only edition of the event alongside Pierre Sancinéna.
Continuing in GT4 competition for 2019, Jean remained with CMR for his sophomore year in both the GT4 European Series and the French GT4 Cup. Taking only two points finishes in the former, Jean found more success in the latter, winning both Nogaro races and taking further wins at Lédenon and Spa to secure runner-up honors. During 2019, Jean made a one-off appearance in the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup round at Barcelona for Saintéloc Racing, in which he took the Pro-Am spoils on debut.
Moving up to GT3 racing full-time the following year, Jean remained with CMR to race in both the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance and Sprint Cups, as a member of the Bentley Motorsport Academy. Enduring a scoreless season in the former, Jean scored a Silver Cup win and overall podium in the latter's Zandvoort round, as well as two other class podiums to finish the season sixth in the Silver standings. In 2021, Jean returned to CMR to race in the Sprint Cup full-time, scoring three Silver class podiums and a class pole at Zandvoort to once again end the season sixth in the class points. During 2021, Jean also raced in the last three rounds of the Endurance Cup for the same team, also in the Silver class.
Jean remained in the Sprint Cup for 2022, as he joined Ferrari-affiliated AF Corse for this third season in the series. Driving alongside Ulysse de Pauw, the pair scored outright wins at Brands Hatch and Valencia, as well as taking four other class wins to seal the Silver class title with a round to spare. During 2022, Jean also raced in the 24 Hours of Spa for Audi-fielding Tresor by Car Collection.
