Auguste Georges Schmutz, called Jean Loysel, (23 October 1889 – 29 December 1962) was a 20th-century French composer and lyricist.

He is mostly known for the duet he formed in the 1920s and 1930s with Georges Matis as lyricist or composer.

After the war, he also collaborated (as a lyricist) with Rolf Marbot (1906–1974), Bert Reisfeld's alter ego.
