Jean-François Gillet (born 31 May 1979 in Liège) is a Belgian professional footballer and currently plays for the Italian Serie A side Bologna.

Gillet grew up in the youth system of his hometown club Standard Liège and featured 3 times in the league for the senior side. In 1999, Gillet moved to Italy to join Serie B side Monza after struggling to find room in the senior set-up at Standard Liège. The following season he transfer to Bari in Serie A. Apart from a one-year loan to Treviso in 2003–04, he played for the galletti right through until the 2010-2011 season.

In the 2008-2009 season under the young manager Antonio Conte, Gillet helped lead Bari to promotion back up to Serie A. During his time at Bari, Gillet became the club's captain and also Bari's most-capped player of all-time.
