Jean-Jacques "Babik" Reinhardt (8 June 1944 – 13 November 2001) was a French guitarist and the younger son of gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt by Django's second wife, Naguine. He was christened Jean-Jacques, but generally known by his family nickname, Babik. His elder half-brother Lousson, Django's son by his first wife, Bella, was also a guitarist, but the two grew up in different families and rarely met.
