Jacques Cartier

Jacques Cartier á málverki frá 19. öld eftir Théophile Hamel.

Jacques Cartier (31. desember 14911. september 1557) var franskur landkönnuður sem er almennt álitinn einn af mikilvægustu könnuðum Kanada. Hann kannaði einkum það svæði í Austur-Kanada sem síðar átti eftir að verða þungamiðja landnáms Evrópubúa þar. Hann fór þrjár ferðir til Kanada 1534, 1535-1536 og 1541-1542. Upphaflegt markmið hans var að finna norðvesturleiðina til Asíu. Í því skyni kannaði hann Nýfundnaland og sigldi upp Lawrence-fljót, hitti innfædda og helgaði land Frakkakonungi.
