Понти Жан-люк (Ponty Jean-Luc) (р. 29 сентября 1940, Авранш, Франция), французский джазовый и джаз-роковый музыкант. Владеет многими классическими инструментами — скрипка, виолончель, фортепиано, кларнет и тенор-саксофон.
Рос в музыкальной семье. В 1980-е годы сформировал джаз-рок-группу, которая стала полигоном для его творческих экспериментов. Одним из первых профессиональных скрипачей интегрировал электронику в свой стиль игры, используя электрическую скрипку и множество других устройств для создания музыкальных эффектов. Позднее стал играть боп, рок, фри-джаз.
