Jean Henri Zuber (24 June 1844 – 7 April 1909) was a French landscape painter. He was born in Rixheim, in the Haut-Rhin département of Alsace. He served in the French navy from 1863 to 1868, and took part in the French campaign against Korea in 1866.[1]

Zuber entered the atelier of Charles Gleyre in 1868 and was admitted to the Salon des artistes français in 1869. In 1873 he published an account of his experiences in Korea, with his own illustrations, in the Hachette periodical Le Tour du Monde.[2]
From 1884 he is listed as a member of the Société d'aquarellistes français or "French society of watercolourists".[3]
