Jules-Édouard Prévost (21 November 1871 – 13 October 1943) was a Laurier Liberal and Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was born in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec and became a journalist and publisher.

Prévost attended Collège Saint-Suplice in Montreal then studied further in Paris and Rome. He was a director of the newspaper l'Avenir du Nord. In 1910, he became a member of Quebec's Council of Public Instruction and from 1914 to 1916 was president of the French Aid Society for Terrebonne County.[1]

He was first elected to Parliament at the Terrebonne riding under the Laurier Liberals in the 1917 general election. After this, he was re-elected as a Liberal in 1921, 1925 and 1926.

During his term in the 16th Canadian Parliament, Prévost was appointed to the Senate on 3 June 1930 and remained in that role until his death on 13 October 1943.
