Jean Deschamps or Johannes de Campis was a 13th-century architect, most notable as the first designer of Clermont-Ferrand Cathedral, begun in 1248, where he was buried. From the 19th century onwards a historical myth arose around him, making him the designer of several cathedrals in Southern France such as those of Limoges, Narbonne, Rodez and Toulouse.
