Jean-Pierre Schecroun (b ? - ?) was a French painter and art forger who made forgeries of work of modern masters, including Picasso. He could make an imitation of a Picasso painting in three minutes.

Schecroun was arrested for forgery in 1962. At the time he had made eight forgeries in two years and earned $25.000. He also claimed that his intention was to expose the credulity of the art dealers who refused to buy his own work but paid large sums of his forgeries he had attributed to others.
