Jean Moillen (1903 – 14 February 1952) was a Swiss bobsledder who competed in the late 1920s and early 1930s. He competed in the five-man event at the 1928 Winter Olympics.[1] He won a silver medal in the four-man event at the first FIBT World Championships in Montreux, Switzerland at the Caux-sur-Montreux hotel in 1930.[2]

He and his cousin André Moillen, also a bobsledder whom Moillen competed alongside, were later killed in a car accident, in 1952.[3][4]
