Jean-Gabriel Berbudeau (October 17, 1709 – January 4, 1792) was a French-born surgeon who spent time practicing medicine in eastern Canada.[1]

Berbudeau's arrival in Canada is not documented but it is known that he was at Louisbourg in 1743, as there is a record of his marriage at that location [1] He was present in Canada most of the period from then to 1758. During that period he held a number of important positions.[1] In 1759 he returned to France with a group of Acadian refugees and first settled in La Rochelle, afterwards serving among those who had settled in Poitou.

He was one of the first accredited surgeons to practice among a civilian population in Canada, providing medical care that helped to sustain a growing population at a crucial time.[1]
