Jacques Laffitte (24 October 1767 – 26 May 1844) was a French banker and politician.

Laffitte was born at Bayonne, one of the ten children of a carpenter.

He became clerk in the banking house of Perregaux in Paris. He was made a partner in the business in 1800, and in 1804 succeeded Perregaux as head of the firm. The house of Perregaux, Laffitte et Cie. became one of the greatest in Europe. Laffitte himself became regent (1809), then governor (1814) of the Bank of France and president of the Chamber of Commerce (1814). He raised large sums of money for the provisional government in 1814 and for King Louis XVIII of France during the Hundred Days. It was with him that Napoleon deposited five million francs in gold before leaving France for the last time.

Rather than permit the government to appropriate the money from the bank, Laffitte supplied two million from his own pocket to cover the arrears of the imperial troops after the Battle of Waterloo. He was returned by the département of the Seine to the Chamber of Deputies in 1816, and took his seat on the left. He spoke chiefly on financial questions; his known Liberal views did not prevent Louis XVIII from insisting on his inclusion on the commission on the public finances.

Jacques-Henri Laffite (born in Paris, 21 November 1943) is a French former racing driver who competed in Formula One from 1974 to 1986. He achieved six grand prix wins, all while driving for the Ligier team. He is now a TV commentator on French television TF1.

Laffite debuted in Formula One in 1974 for Frank Williams' Iso Marlboro team. The following year he raced for the same team, now named Williams, scoring a 2nd place in the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring.

In 1976 Laffite moved to the French Ligier team, scoring 20 points and a pole position at the Italian Grand Prix. The next two seasons were transitional, although he managed to win his first Grand Prix at Anderstorp in the 1977 Swedish Grand Prix.

The 1979 season opened with Laffite winning the first two races. He fought for the World Championship title until the last races, but eventually placed only 4th, with 36 points. The following two seasons were similar, with two more 4th places in the Championship and a further 3 victories. In 1982, however, Laffite finished only 17th in the final classification, with only 5 points scored.

Jacques Myard (born August 14, 1947) is a member of the National Assembly of France. He represents the Yvelines department, and is a member of the Union for a Popular Movement.
