Jean-Louis Borel (3 April 1819, Fanjeaux – 20 February 1884, Versailles) was a French general and politician.

He graduated from Saint-Cyr. He was aide de camp to MacMahon, in Algeria and in the Crimean War. He was chief of staff to the National Guard. He was commander of the Army of the Loire.[1]

In December 1877, he joined Jules Armand Dufaure's government as Minister of War. Being more right-wing than the rest of the government, he was replaced after six months.
