Jean Dalbarade (or d'Albarade; 31 August 1743 – 31 December 1819) was a French naval officer who became an extremely successful corsair.
In his career at sea he captured many enemy vessels, and was often wounded.
He was decorated by King Louis XVI.
Dalbarade became Minister of the Navy and Colonies (1793–95) during the French Revolution, at the height of the Reign of Terror.
He was ineffective and indecisive in this position.
He commanded the port of Lorient for two years, then was dismissed and soon after retired from the navy.
