Jacques Archambault (c. 1604 – February 15, 1688) was a French colonist in Montreal. He was born in Dompierre-sur-Mer, where he was baptized.

Archambault married (around 1629) Françoise Tourault who from 1630 to 1644, had 2 sons and 5 daughters (one of whom died to infancy).[1] All Archambaults (and descendants) now living in North America are his descendants, as no other Archambault ever emigrated from France.[2]

A plate in the back of the Pointe-à-Callière Museum of Montreal commemorates his digging the first water well, near what is now known as Place-d'Armes, on October 11, 1658, upon request by Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve.
