Jean-Paul Hétu (1932 – 30 July 2012) was a Quebec trade unionist.
He was associated with the Confédération des syndicats nationaux (CSN) from 1958 until 1972, where he worked as a negotiator and head of the education department.
When several unions affiliated with the CSN left to form the Centrale des syndicats démocratiques (CSD), Hétu became vice-president of the CSD in 1972 and subsequently president until 1989.
