Jacques Doucet[1] was a French sailor who competed in the 1900 Summer Olympics.[2]

He was the crew member of the French boat Favorite 1, which won two silver medals in the races of the 2 to 3 ton class. He also participated in the Open class, but did not finish the race.[3]

A memoir by the French painter Charles Picart Le Doux suggests that Doucet did not survive World War I.[4]
