Jean-Marie Dessureault (30 December 1888 – 26 August 1970) was a Liberal party member of the Senate of Canada. He was born in Sainte-Geneviève-de-Batiscan, Quebec, becoming a lumber merchant and manufacturer.

The son of Aimé Dessureault and Marie-Anne Rousseau, he was educated in Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, and established himself in business at Quebec City. In 1913, he married Aurore Vallée. Dessureault served as alderman for the city of Montreal from 1922 to 1926.{{cite book |title=The Canadian Directory of Parliament 1867-1967 |last=Johnson |first=J.K. |year=1968 |publisher=Public Archives of Canada}}
