Jean-Joseph Ader (16 Octobre 1796 – 12 April 1859) was an 19th-century French playwright, writer and historian.
Ader studied in a seminary of the Basque country and arrived in Paris in 1813 where he studied medicine and law.
He began his literary career by collaborating with the Diable boiteux, the Frondeur, the Pandore and the Mercure du XIXe siècle. His articles earned him many problems with the police court. In 1826, he was sentenced to five days in jail against three months required for the anonymous article Robin des bois in the Frondeur which was assigned to him. He then moved to Belgium where he founded the Constitutionnel des Pays-Bas with Pierre François Tissot, another quickly banned newspaper.
In July 1830, he was among the three hundred journalists and writers who wrote calls to insurrection to achieve the abdication of Charles X's monarchy.
His plays were given at the Théâtre de l'Odéon, the Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin and the most important Parisian stages of his times.
