The Tour Jean-sans-Peur or Tour de Jean sans Peur (English: Tower of John the Fearless) is a defensive tower in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris. Built 1409–1411 by Jean sans Peur, it is the last remaining vestige of the former Hôtel de Bourgogne (owned by the Dukes of Burgundy), which once occupied a large area of land, the boundaries of which are now marked by the rues Étienne Marcel, Montorgeuil, Saint-Saveur, and Saint-Denis. The tower itself is located at 20 rue Étienne Marcel, in the courtyard of an elementary school (école élémentaire in French).
