Jean Tourane (1919–1986) was a French filmmaker known for his footage of small animals.
His birth name was Jean Briel.
Among others he filmed a television series about a small duck named "Saturnin" during the 1960s.
In the 1990s, clips from this series were merged into a new series called The Adventures of Dynamo Duck, which aired on Fox Kids in the United States. Tourane started his professional career as a painter and photographer of small animals, and moved from photography into film.
After making a number of shorts, he made the first full length Saturnin movie, and was in 1964 awarded a contract for 78 television episodes with French television. He was also for a time the mayor of the commune of Le Val-Saint-Germain in Essonne department, France.
