{{Short description|French sculptor}}
'''Jean-Jacques Clérion''' (16 April 1637 – 28 April 1714) was a French sculptor who worked mainly for [[Louis XIV of France|King Louis XIV]].

Clérion was born in either [[Aix-en-Provence]] or [[Trets]]. For much of his career he worked on the [[Chateau de Versailles]], including many of the famous garden sculptures, such as the "Apollo Fountain". His admission piece to the [[Académie française]], a 1689 [[bas relief]] of [[Saint James the Less]], may be seen in the [[Louvre]]. He also produced a copy of the [[Kallipygian Venus]] for Louis XIV's [[Palace of Versailles]] in 1686, and a copy of the [[Medici Venus]] which may be seen at the [[Château de Menars]]. He died in [[Paris]].
