Jean Dugain (23 February 1717 – died after 1787) was one of the most famous slave catchers active on Réunion during the 18th century, when it was still a French colony in the Indian Ocean known as Bourbon Island. In this capacity, he traversed many of the territories of the Highlands that had remained unexplored until then, and became a reference in the field for the island's authorities, who didn't hesitate to call on him for reconnaissance missions.
He was the first white man to witness a volcanic eruption of the Piton de la Fournaise, overlooking the Enclos Fouqué, the last caldera formed by this active volcano. He may also have been the first settler to reach the summit of Piton des Neiges (Snow Peak), the island's highest mountain, or at least to visit it regularly.
He had a son named after him, lived as a hermit for 13 years in remote parts of the colony, and helped the travelling explorer Jean-Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent during his ascent to its highest point in the early 19th century. Their name has been given to several natural features in Réunion's geography, including a small piton in Plaine des Cafres, Piton Dugain, and an inhabited place in Sainte-Suzanne, as well as a cave that is difficult to access and a stream that has now disappeared from maps.
