Jules Raucourt, born on May 8, 1890, in Brussels, Belgium and died on January 30, 1967, in Los Angeles, California, was a Belgian film actor. He acted in Belgian, French and American film productions.

He is also known under the names Jules Raucort or Raucourt. He played roles for films between 1917 and 1939. He had more important roles were in silent film performances. He notably played in The Poor Gentleman (1921) by Armand Du Plessy based on the screenplay of the novel published in 1855 by Hendrik Conscience, produced by Hippolyte De Kempeneer.

Later, Raucourt played Mr. Jones #9413, the subject of the landmark experimental film The Life and Death of 9413: a Hollywood Extra (1928). He later wrote a novel, using the title of the film. His appearance in Life and Death of 9413 had some parallels with his life of beginning in lead roles in silents, then being relegated to small parts, often as an uncredited extra in his own career.
