Jean Vignaud (1875–1962) was a French novelist. A handful of his works were adapted for cinema. Between 1936 and 1946 he served as president of the Société des gens de lettres. Vignaud was noted for his staunch support of France's presence in Algeria and other North African territories.[1] One of his most notable works was his 1926 novel La Maison du Maltai, which was adapted into films twice for the 1928 silent film Karina the Dancer and the 1938 film Sirocco.[2]
