Jacques Laperrière, born on 22 November 1941 in Béarn, Quebec, is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman and coach who played for the Montreal Canadiens in the National Hockey League from 1962 until 1974. He won the Calder Memorial Trophy as the league's top rookie in 1964 and the James Norris Memorial Trophy as its best defenceman in 1966, and he won six Stanley Cups as a player, a career that ended early because of a knee injury. He later served as an assistant coach with Montreal for 16 years, winning two more Stanley Cups in 1986 and 1993, and coached with the Boston Bruins, New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils. He entered the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1987 and is the father of Daniel Laperrière and Martin Laperrière.
