Jean Hotteterre (1677–1720) was a French composer and musician of the Hotteterre family.[1]

Hotteterre worked at the family workshop on the Rue de Harlay, Paris until his death at the court of Louis XIV of France. He and his brothers Jacques-Martin and Nicolas made many enhancements to the oboe, creating an "indoor" version similar to the shawm.[2]
