Jean-Marie Francois Eugene Frederic Robine (born 16 June 1951 in Saint-Germain en Laye) is a French demographer, gerontologist, author and journalist noted for his research of the Jeanne Calment case and for founding the International Database on Longevity in 2002. He is a Research Director, Institut National De La Sante et de La Recherche Medicale (INSERM) and Ph.D., Expert Demographer, Institut de Démographie de Paris, Université de Paris 1.

Dr. Robine’s research investigates human longevity, with the aim of understanding the relations between health and longevity. Since its creation he has been the coordinator of the International Network on Health Expectancy (REVES). Robine has been instrumental in organizing international efforts to study supercentenarians, through workshops held at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research and by founding the International Database on Longevity. Robine currently has the largest European supercentenarian dataset, and also collaborates with Japanese demographer Yasuhiko Saito.
