Jean-Claude Trial (13 December 1732 - 23 June 1771) was a French composer and, with Pierre Montan Berton, co-director of the Académie Royale de Musique 1767-1771, following François Francœur and François Rebel and preceding Antoine Dauvergne and Nicolas-René Joliveau.
It was during his and Berton's directorship that the main hall at the Palais Royal burned down on 6 April 1763. Trial was born in Avignon.
His opera Silvie, 1765, co-written with Pierre Montan Berton, was the last pastorale héroïque to be written by French composers.
He died in Paris, aged 38, shortly after the destruction of the hall.
