Jacques Herbillon (20 May 1936 – 16 May 2003) was a French baritone singer.
Born in Reims, Herbillon studied at the Conservatoire de Reims, at the École Normale de Musique de Paris with Gabrielle Gills, and at the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève with Pierre Mollet. He received the Gabriel Fauré Grand Prize and the Geneva International Music Competition Prize.
A great specialist of Gabriel Fauré, from 1961 he undertook numerous concert and recital tours under the aegis of the Jeunesses musicales de France. He performed internationally in many chamber operas and also participated in many premieres.
He recorded Fauré's melodies with the Romanian pianist Théodore Paraskivesco, including La Bonne Chanson and L'Horizon chimérique and also an album of mélodies by Ravel, including the Don Quichotte à Dulcinée song cycle; these recordings were issued by the Calliope label.
