Jean-Louis Pierrot (1761-1857) was a career officer and general in the Haïtian Army.
He becomes president of Haïti on April 16, 1845.
During the first Haïtian Kingdom, Henry I had promoted Pierrot to the rank of Lieutenant General in the Army and granted him the hereditary title of Prince.
As President of Haïti, he is intended to be a figurehead for the mulatto ruling class.
A failure in this role, he is overthrown in a coup d'etat on March 24, 1846, after attempting reforms in the government.
