Jean-Philippe Lauer (May 7 1902 – May 15 2001), was a French architect and Egyptologist.

He was born in Paris, France and originally studied architecture, but in 1926 he went to Egypt. Here he met and married (in October 1, 1929) Marguerite Jouguet.

He worked for Firth and Quibell on Djoser's Step Pyramid. He devoted the next 75 years to restoring and reconstructing the complex surrounding the pyramid.
