Ribaut (Or Ribault), Jean (c.1520–65), French Huguenot navigator and colonizer, with Laudonnière founded a colony at the present Port Royal, S.C., and claimed the territory of Florida for France (1562). He published an account of his expedition as The Whole and True Discoverye of Terra Florida (1563). In 1565 he returned to reinforce the colony, but in a Spanish attack he and most of the colonists were massacred. A modern account is contained in Parkman's Pioneers of France in the New World.
