Jean-Louis Duport (4 October 1749 – 7 September 1819), sometimes known as Duport the Younger to distinguish him from his older brother (and teacher) Jean-Pierre (1741-1818), was a cellist, pedagogue, and composer.

He is perhaps best known today for his 21 études for solo cello that constitute the final part of the "Essai sur le doigté du violoncelle et sur la conduite de l'archet" ("Essay on the fingering of the violoncello and on the conduct of the bow") (1806), a seminal work of cello technique. He also wrote six cello concertos and his Études pour violoncello.
In 1812, Jean-Louis returned to Paris, where he encountered Napoleon, who insisted on trying out Duport's Stradivarius cello, exclaiming, "How the devil do you hold this thing, Monsieur Duport?" Duport was so obviously afraid that Napoleon would damage it, that Napoleon laughingly returned it to the cellist's more careful hands. Actually, Napoleon had made a small dent in the ribs of the cello, which may still be seen in the instrument. It was later owned by Auguste Franchomme and also Mstislav Rostropovich.
"Essay on the fingering of the violoncello and on the conduct of the bow"
"Essai sur le doigté du violoncelle et sur la conduite de l'archet" ("Essay on the fingering of the violoncello and on the conduct of the bow") is a seminal work of cello technique, by Duport, published by Imbault in Paris in 1806. The French text of 175 pages discusses in detail a wide range of aspects of cello technique, and is followed by 21 Etudes for two cellos, of various difficulty levels. The work has been translated into English and German, and is widely accepted as the most influential pedagogical work for the instrument.

Jean-Louis Duport (París, 4 de octubre de 1749 - 7 de septiembre de 1819) fue un violonchelista y compositor francés que logró la fama en los conciertos del Concert Spirituel en la década de los setenta del siglo XVIII. Al estallar la Revolución Francesa, decidió emigrar a Potsdam donde se reunió con su hermano, el también violonchelista Jean-Pierre Duport, quien había dejado vacante la plaza de primer violonchelista de la corte de Federico Guillermo II de Prusia al aceptar el cargo de superintendente de la música desde 1788 hasta su fallecimiento. En 1807 decidió regresar a París donde permaneció hasta su muerte, salvo por los cuatro años que permaneció como músico de cámara de Carlos IV de España en su exilio en Marsella entre 1808 y 1812.[ru] Дюпор, Жан-Луи
