Jules Vuillemin (; French: [v?ijm?~]; 15 February 1920 – 16 January 2001) was a French philosopher, Professor of Philosophy of Knowledge at the prestigious Collège de France, in Paris, from 1962 to 1990, succeeding Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Professor emeritus from 1991 to 2001.
He was an Invited Professor at the Institute for Advanced Studies, in Princeton, New Jersey (1968). At the Collège de France, Vuillemin introduced analytical philosophy to France.
Vuillemin’s thought had a major influence on Jacques Bouveresse's works.
Vuillemin himself vindicated the legacy of Martial Gueroult. A friend of Michel Foucault, he supported his election at the Collège de France, and was also close to Michel Serres.
