Jean-Louis Bruguès, OP (born 22 November 1943) is a French archbishop of the Catholic Church. He has been the archivist and librarian of the Holy Roman Church since June 2012.

Bruguès was born at Bagnères de Bigorre, in the diocese of Tarbes and Lourdes. He studied at the Faculty of Law of Montpellier (1960-1963) and the Faculty of Arts of Madrid (1963-1964), graduating with Law and Economics degrees. He graduated from the School of Political Science in 1966 with a degree in Political Science. He was selected for the entrance exam to the elite école nationale d'administration, but instead completed a doctorate in theology.

He entered the Dominicans as a novice in Lille (1968-1969). He made his first religious profession on 29 September 1969 and was ordained a priest 22 June 1975 in Toulouse.

Bruguès served as prior of the Dominican priories of Toulouse and Bordeaux, and later provincial of the Province of Toulouse. He was also professor of fundamental moral theology at the Catholic Institute of Toulouse and then taught the same subject at the University of Fribourg, where he held the chair in fundamental moral theology from 1997 to 2000. He was a member of the International Theological Commission from 1986 to 2002, and in 1995 he was invited by Jean-Marie Lustiger to preach the Lenten conferences at Notre-Dame Cathedral.
