Jean Tixier de Ravisi (c. 1470–1542) was a French Renaissance humanist scholar and professor of rhetoric.
His works, which are mostly on the topic of education, were widely accepted and employed by French academia.
Tixier eventually adopted the Latinised name Johannes Textor Ravisius, Nivernensis.
Tixier studied humanities at the College of Navarre. When he graduated, he accepted a position in the college's rhetoric department; there he impressed faculty and students alike. In 1520, he accepted a position as rector of the University of Paris.
He held the position until 1525, succeeded by William Manderstown.
More than thirty editions of his principal work, Officina, were published as he continued to expand it.
