Jean Bertheroy was the pen name of Berthe Jeanne Le Barillier (1858–1927), a French intellectual, classicist, and writer. First noted for her poetry, she turned to the historical novel and then the modern novel. Her work, although largely forgotten, is served by a sober style and very solid documentation. The most substantial part of her work is probably that devoted to Roman antiquity. Bertheroy was a three-time laureate of the Académie Française.
