Jean-Marie Domenach (French: [dɔmənak]; 13 February 1922 – 5 July 1997) was a French writer and intellectual. He was noted as a left-wing and Catholic thinker.[1]

Domenach was born in Lyon, where he studied at the Lycée du Parc.[1] In 1949 he became an editor of Esprit, the literary and political journal of personalism and non-conformism founded in 1932 by Emmanuel Mounier.[1] In 1956, Domenach became chief editor. He voluntarily retired from Esprit in 1977, at age 54, and began writing and teaching at the university level.[1] Opposed to torture during the Algerian War, he also held a meeting denouncing the 1961 Paris massacre.[2] He died in Paris in 1997, aged 75.[1]
