Jacques-François Baudiau (15 October 1809, Planchez – 17 September 1880, Quarré-les-Tombes) was a French Catholic priest and geographer.
In 1833 he was named vicar in Château-Chinon, then served as a pastor in Montigny-sur-Canne (from November 1834), and later in Dun-les-Places (from July 1844). He was a member of learned societies in Saône-et-Loire, Nièvre and Yonne.[1]
