Laurent Joubert (16 December 1529 – 21 October 1582) was a French physician.
He travelled to Montpellier at the age of 21 to study medicine, and became a student of Guillaume Rondelet, the chancellor of the Medical Faculty at the University of Montpellier.
Soon after Rondelet's death in 1556, Joubert succeeded him as chancellor.
He was later summoned by Catherine de' Medici, the queen consort of France, to be her personal physician.
Joubert went on to become one of the physicians to Henry III of France.
Joubert was married to Louise Guichard, the sister of the doctor to the King of Navarre.
