Jean-Baptiste-Isaïe Noël (February 20, 1799 – October 6, 1847) was a seigneur, physician and political figure in Lower Canada (now Quebec). He represented Lotbinière in the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada from 1830 to 1838, and again in the Lotbinière electoral district in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada from 1841 to 1844.
In the Lower Canada Assembly he was an independent, sometimes voting with the nationalist Parti patriote and sometimes with the Bureaucrats Party, which supported the Governor. In 1834 he voted with the Patiotes in supporting the Ninety-Two Resolutions, which were strongly critical of the British colonial government.
He opposed the union of Lower Canada with Upper Canada, but successfully stood for election to the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada in 1841. In the Assembly he generally was part of the French-Canadian Group which opposed the policies of the governors. However, in a major dispute in 1843, he broke with them and sided with Governor General Metcalfe. He was defeated in the general election of 1844.
