Jacques Mosseri Hane (25 June 1936 – 25 September 2025) was a Colombian architect.

Jacques Mosseri's maternal grandfather left Thessaloniki during the Balkan conflict and embarked for Peru from France; however, he decided to disembark in Puerto Colombia due to the length of the journey. From there, he moved to Barranquilla and then to other cities along the coast, around 1910. He returned to Salonica to get married but due to World War I, he decided to return to Colombia with his three children. Hence, Mosseri's mother was raised in the Colombian capital. In her adolescence, his mother traveled to Paris, met Mosseri's father, married, and returned to Colombia.

In 1941, he entered the Lycée Français of Bogotá. In 1954, he entered the Faculty of Architecture at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, graduating in 1959.
